Introduction Different layers of earth’s atmosphere play a major role in our daily life. We know that the sunlight we receive on this Earth is actually very harmful. Indeed, if unfiltered, it can even cause skin cancer. So how are humans surviving this onslaught of radiation every day? We are safe because nature has provided us with a shield in the form of the ozone layer, which blocks harmful rays of the sun from reaching the earth. But this ozone layer is just a small part of the enormous layer of gases that envelops our planet from the surface ... Read More

Dew and fog are two common atmospheric phenomena that can be observed in various regions of the world. Although they are both formed by the same process of condensation, they differ in several ways. This essay will provide an in-depth analysis of the differences between dew and fog. What is Fog? Fog is an atmospheric condition characterized by the cloud appearing close or at the earth’s surface. It is a thick cloud that can reduce visibility greatly. It is hard for motorists during fog because they struggle to see even in the presence of vehicle lights. Strong winds and the ... Read More

Climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction are two concepts that are often used interchangeably but they are fundamentally different. While both are concerned with reducing the vulnerability of communities and ecosystems to the impacts of natural hazards, they differ in their scope, objectives, and approaches. What is Climate Change Adaptation? Climate change adaptation refers to the process of adjusting natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climate change impacts, in order to moderate harm or take advantage of new opportunities. Adaptation measures are aimed at reducing the vulnerability of communities and ecosystems to climate change impacts, ... Read More

Introduction Our earth is surrounded by air that contains gas for breathing and also many other gas molecules. They protect our earth from harmful radiation and act as a blanket over the earth. It is extended to space. Atmospheric pressure is calculated by using a barometer. Because of the gravitational force of attraction, the air exerts a force upon the surface. This is called atmospheric pressure. $$\mathrm{Generally, \: atmospheric \:pressure\: is\:P_{a}\:=\:\rho gh}$$ Disturbances that occur in the atmosphere are called atmospheric disturbances. They do not last for a long time and they move from one place to another. Even Though ... Read More

Introduction Cloud formation in physics refers to the processes that create clouds in the atmosphere of planets, dwarf planets, moons, and other celestial bodies with atmospheres. We classified this process into two ways: those that make homogeneous clouds, like the cumulus clouds we are most familiar with, and those that make heterogeneous clouds, which have different characteristics from homogeneous clouds and often make up stratocumulus clouds and cirrus (or cirrostratus) cloud types. Overview of Cloud Formation Images Coming soon Clouds are formed when there is a difference in temperature between two layers of air. This causes rising motion, which leads ... Read More
