40) The atmosphere contains all of the Earth's air and is divided into troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere. The hydrosphere contains all of the solid, liquid and gaseous water on Earth, extending from the depths of the sea to the upper reaches of the troposphere where water is found. The interactions between the atmosphere and hydrosphere occur when water (hydrosphere) evaporates it rises into the air (atmosphere).

Now my guess is that the scientists in Greenwich didn't want this happening on their doorstep, so they put the International Date Line as far away as they possibly could, on the other side of the world.The difference is 180 degrees of longitude. They're two different [imaginary] lines
on the earth's surface, directly opposite each other. The Prime Meridian connects
the north and south poles and runs through Europe and Africa. The International
Date Line also connects the north and south poles, but runs down the other side
of the earth, through the Pacific Ocean. If you stand at any point on either one of
them (except at the north or south pole), then you can't see any point on the
other one.

43)The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperatureextremes between day and night (the diurnal temperature variation).

The common name given to the atmospheric gases used in breathing and photosynthesis is air. By volume, dry air contains 78.09%nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. Air also contains a variable amount ofwater vapor, on average around 1%. While air content and atmospheric pressure vary at different layers, air suitable for the survival ofterrestrial plants and terrestrial animals currently is only known to be found in Earth's troposphere and artificial atmospheres.

The atmosphere has a mass of about 5
