	91.06.04: Earth’s Changing Atmosphere
		The purpose of this unit is to investigate the Earth’s changing atmosphere.
		The gas in an atmosphere is held to the planet’s surface by gravity, that natural force or pull toward the center of the planet.
		The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere extending from Earth’s surface to an altitude of 10 to 16 km.

		When expressed as a measurement, an atmosphere (symbol: atm) or standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure roughly equal to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth.
		A millimetre (American spelling: millimeter, symbol mm) is an SI unit of length that is equal to one thousandth of a metre.
		The unit technical atmosphere (at) is roughly equal to the gauge pressure under 10 m of water; 1 at = 98066.5 Pa. A technical atmosphere (symbol: at) is a non-SI unit of pressure equal to 1 kilogram-force per square centimeter, i.

		Normal atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi, which means that a column of air one square inch in area rising from the Earth's atmosphere to space weighs 14.7 pounds.
		Based on the original Torricelli barometer design, one atmosphere of pressure will force the column of mercury (Hg) in a mercury barometer to a height of 760 millimeters.
		This unit is used by meteorologists who find it easier to refer to atmospheric pressures without using decimals.

	Units: A
		In metric countries the unit corresponding to the acre is the hectare, which is 10,000 square meters (the area of a square 100 meters on each side).
		Units of quantity equal to 1 through 8 are known, respectively, as the monad, dyad, triad, tetrad, pentad, hexad, heptad, and octad, terms coined by adding -ad to the Greek numbers 1-8.
		One astronomical unit equals the "average" distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Sun (mathematically, it is the length of the semimajor axis of the Earth's elliptical orbit, which is the ordinary average of the Earth's minimum and maximum distances from the Sun).

	Unit 2. Understanding the Atmosphere
		The atmosphere of the Earth is an envelope of air surrounding the Earth.
		Because the atmosphere is largely transparent to incoming short-wave radiation, a large quantity reaches the Earth’s surface where it becomes absorbed and heats the Earth’s surface.
		Atmospheric scattering of solar radiation is apparent in the brightness of the daytime sky.

		Among the particulates found in the atmosphere are soil blown into the air as dust, sea salt resulting from the evaporation of ocean spray, smoke from forest fires and the combustion of fossil fuels, and fire ash or silicate dust and sulfate salts blasted into the atmosphere during volcanic eruptions.
		Pollutants are gases or particulates in the atmosphere we breathe that are undesirable from the standpoint of the health of plants and animals.
		Above the mercury outside the tube is the atmosphere, exerting its pressure on the mercury surface and forcing it up into the tube until the column of mercury in the tube exerts the same pressure (force per unit area) on the mercury in the dish as the column of air.
