The AtmosphereThe Atmosphere
is the envelope of gases that surrounds the Earth.
has 5 layers that are held in place by gravity.
is important to study because it gives us our weather and climate.
keeps Earth warm and filters out harmful forms of sunlight.
is made of nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone.

GPMGPM
The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Satellite will collect precipitation data from around the world.
Knowing where and how much rain or snow falls globally is vital to understanding how weather and climate impact both our environment and Earth’s water and energy cycles, including effects on agriculture, fresh water availability, and responses to natural disasters.
