Beyond the atmosphere is the solar wind. The solar wind is made of high-speed particles, mostly protons and electrons, traveling rapidly outward from the Sun.\r\n\r\nThis video is very thorough in its discussion of the layers of the atmosphere.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=S-YAKZoy1A0\r\n\r\nSince temperature inversions are stable, they often trap pollutants and produce unhealthy air conditions in cities. At the top of the troposphere is a thin layer in which the temperature does not change with height. This means that the cooler, denser air of the troposphere is trapped beneath the warmer, less dense air of the stratosphere. Air from the troposphere and stratosphere rarely mix.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LPvn9qhVFbM","rendered":"
