Bipolar disorder is a disorder where you have reoccurring episodes of depression or mania. Because these mood states are opposite in nature and say they have opposite polarity. It’s like a magnetic pole that has opposite ends of...

"Exploring the Atmosphere" discusses the Earth's atmosphere by breaking down the five different layers and describing each in detail.

“The Ozone Layer” will explain what the ozone layer is, how it is being damaged, and how global warming and climate change interact with it.

Exploring the Atmosphere discusses Earth's atmosphere by breaking down the five different layers and describing each in detail.

Global warning is probably the biggest threat facing humanity. If all else fails, could climate-controlling technology be the answer?

Solar geoengineering specialists reckon technology could cool the planet's temperature by using it to sulfur to the atmosphere. Volcanic eruptions can cool the earth. This is because they emit sulfur dioxide, a UV repellent gas, into the...

Pushed by warming air and pulled by a shrinking stratosphere, no one knows where the troposphere goes from here.

A new company called Space Perspective wants to send tourists and research payloads up into the stratosphere in a pressurized capsule elevated by a large balloon.

This live-action video program is about the word air. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word air through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated...

A colder than usual winter in the southern hemisphere fed a deep and larger than average hole that persisted for a longer period than usual.

Learn about the two main layers of the atmosphere: the troposphere and the stratosphere. The troposphere is full of weather and ‘bad’ ozone, and above that, is the stratosphere, where ‘good’ ozone protects us against dangerous UV light....

Climate patterns and storms on Jupiter can have striking similarities to those on Earth. One such pattern is a four-year temperature cycle in the Jovian upper atmosphere called the QQO.



This cycle has a little...

Using measurements from NASA's Aura satellite, scientists studied chlorine within the Antarctic ozone hole over the last several years, watching as the amount slowly decreased. This is the first definitive evidence of the success of the...

The 3 simple ingredients of sun, air and water lead to every type of weather on Earth. The atmosphere is constantly trying to balance heat from the sun with water vapor and air to create a dynamic planet. The unique properties of the...

Ozone 101 is the first in a series of explainer videos outlining the fundamentals of popular Earth science topics. Let’s back up to the basics and understand what caused the Ozone Hole, its effects on the planet, and what scientists...
