Notes
The atmosphere is NOT uniform: temperature reverses 4 times (fall–rise–fall–rise), dividing it into 5 layers. Pressure falls almost exponentially — halving every ~5.5 km.

About Atmosphere Layers

Atmosphere Layers is one of 20 topics in the Earth domain (10⁷ m scale) at My Labs — an interactive simulation atlas. This virtual lab runs right in your browser: adjust the parameters, pick a scenario and watch the phenomenon change in real time, with a click-to-inspect cross-section for every structure.
