1. Answer the following questions.
(i) What is atmosphere?
Answer
The earth is surrounded by a huge blanket of air called atmosphere.
(ii) Which two gases make the bulk of the atmosphere?
Answer
Nitrogen and oxygen make the bulk of the atmosphere.
(iii) Which gas creates green house effect in the atmosphere?
Answer
Carbon dioxide creates the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere.
(iv) What is weather?
Answer
Weather is short-term state of the atmosphere whether it is hot or cold,
wet or dry. It is the hour
to hour, day to day condition of the atmosphere.
(v) Name three types of rainfall?
Answer
Three types of rainfall are:
(i) Convectional rainfall
(ii) Orographic rainfall
(iii) Cyclonic rainfall
(vi) What is air pressure?
Answer
The pressure exerted by the weight of air on the surface of the earth is
called air pressure.

(iv) Wind (d) Layer of ozone gas
- (e) Permanent wind
- (f) Local wind
Answer
(i) Trade Winds(e) Permanent wind
(ii) Loo (f) Local wind
(iii) Monsoon (b) Seasonal wind
(iv) Wind (c) Horizontal movement of Air
4. Give reasons:
(i) Wet clothes take longer time to dry on a humid day?
(ii) Amount of insolation decreases from equator towards poles?
Answer
(i) In humid day, the humidity is very high that is the level water vapour
in atmosphere is high. Due to this, air is not able carry away more water
vapour with it and thus the clothes take longer time to dry on a humid day.
(ii) Insolation is the incoming solar energy intercepted by the earth.
Sunlight falls almost vertically on the equator whereas it falls at some
angle on the poles. Due to this, amount of insolation decreases from
equator towards poles.

Inside Questions:
5. Draw a diagram of the layers of atmosphere.
6. Explain the three types of wind.
Winds can be broadly divided into three types.
• Permanent winds – The trade winds are the permanent winds. These
blow constantly throughout the year in a particular direction.
• Seasonal winds – These winds change their direction in different
seasons. For example monsoons in India.
• Local winds – These blow only during a particular period of the day
or year in a small area.
7. What is insolation?
=> Insulation is the incoming solar energy into affected by the earth.
8. What are the difference between weather and climate?
=> Weather is the hour to hour or day to day condition of the atmosphere.
Whereas, the average weather conditions of a place for a long period of
time is called climate.
9. What are the major layers of atmosphere?
=> The major 5 layers of atmosphere are-
• Troposphere
• Stratosphere
• Mesosphere
• Thermosphere
• Exosphere
10. What is wind?
=> The movement of air from the high pressure area to low pressure areas
is called layers.
11. Write a short note on troposphere.
=> This layer is the most important layer of the atmosphere. The average
height is 13 km. The air we breathe exist here. All the weather phenomena
like rainfall, fog and hailstorm occur in this layer.
12. What is temperature?
=> The degree of hotness and coldness of the air is known as temperature.
