The Earth's atmosphere is divided into several layers, including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The magnetosphere, a region surrounding the Earth created by its magnetic field, interacts with the solar wind and can affect the upper atmosphere. Charged particles from the solar wind can be trapped in the magnetosphere and create auroras in the ionosphere, a layer of the upper atmosphere. Understanding the interactions between the atmosphere and the magnetosphere is important for predicting and mitigating the effects of space weather on Earth.
