What do we know about the Earth's atmosphere according to modern science ?
The Earth's entire atmosphere, The Sky, is made up of layers constructed of seven atmospheres
* Thermosphere
* Exosphere
* Ionosphere
* Mesosphere
* Stratosphere
* Tropopause
* Troposphere
The Quran mentions these atmopheres in number as seven (7) firmaments which is the simular number firmaments in space that is beyond the Earth's atmosphere.
Alllaah is He who created seven firmaments and of the Earth their simularity....65:12
These seven firmaments are tracks above us.
and indeed We have created already above you all seven tracks and We are not heedless of the creation 23:17
The sky above us is a roof structure
He is who made for you all the Earth as a bed and the sky as a roof structure.... 2:21
This "binaa'a" or "Roof Structure" is a means of protecting us.
and We made the sky as a protecting roof....21:32
It was virtually impossible for a human being over 1400 years ago to know that our sky was a roof structure that protected us which had seven tracks.
The atmosphere surrounds Earth and protects us by blocking out dangerous rays from the sun. The atmosphere is a mixture of gases that becomes thinner until it gradually reaches space. It is composed of Nitrogen (78%), Oxygen (21%), and other gases (1%).
