THE ECOSPHERE

• An ecosphere can mean an imaginary shell of space surrounding a star where temperatures are suitable for life to exist on a planet.

• An example is the ecosphere of our Solar System.

• Our Solar System’s ecosphere is the imaginary area around the Sun where temperatures are suitable for life to exist.

• It encompasses two planets: Mars and Earth.

THE BIOSPHERE

• The biosphere is the collective term for the living organisms that inhabit our planet. In other words, the living things that live in the troposphere, the hydrosphere and the upper layer of the geosphere.
