Atmosphere of Earth development of animals. Today's atmosphere contains 21% oxygen, which is great enough for this rapid development of animals. "Air pollution" is the introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals, particulate matter or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to organisms. Stratospheric ozone depletion is caused by air pollution, chiefly from chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone-depleting substances. The scientific consensus is that the anthropogenic greenhouse gases currently accumulating in the atmosphere are the main cause of global warming. On October 19, 2015 NASA started a website containing daily images of the full sunlit side of Earth on http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/. The images are taken
Computation of radiowave attenuation in the atmosphere recommendations is available for download and is available to the public. The document ITU-R P.676-8 of the ITU-R section considers the atmosphere as being divided into spherical homogeneous layers; each layer has a constant refraction index. By the use of trigonometry, a couple of formulas and an algorithm were derived. Through the use of an invariant, the same results can be directly derived: An incident ray at A under the angle Φ hits the layer B at the angle "θ". From basic Euclidean geometry: By Snell's law: so that Notes: The ITU recommended algorithm consists of launching a ray from
