It is the UN system's authoritative voice on the state and behaviour of the Earth's atmosphere, its interaction with the oceans, the climate it produces and the resulting distribution of water resources.
To reconstruct the meteor's original orbit around the Sun, they used six different properties of its trajectory through Earth's atmosphere.
The report's startling numbers are based on calculations by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that the Earth's atmosphere warmed by 0.74 degrees Celsius (1.33 degrees Fahrenheit) from 1906 to 2005, with much of that increase coming in recent decades.
Generally, comet debris can hit Earth's atmosphere at speeds as fast as 110, 000 miles per hour.
The station would slowly lose altitude and re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in an uncontrolled manner.
Debris is said to have re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and crashed to the ground.
Many of these, no doubt, were optical illusions, or effects caused by the earth's atmosphere.
Gamma rays have to be studied from space because they cannot penetrate the earth's atmosphere.
At that point, the Earth's atmosphere and water will be boiled away, leaving the planet uninhabitable.
They can scan Earth's atmosphere every 15 minutes in 12 different wavelengths, to track cloud development.
In an updated version of a cloud chamber the researchers are recreating the Earth's atmosphere.
Greenhouse effect: heating of the earth's atmosphere due to an increase in gases like carbon dioxide.
And as a result, Viking was highly tested both in laboratory facilities and in the Earth's atmosphere.
When intense enough, flares can disturb the Earth's atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel.
Challenger exploded shortly after launch in 1986, and Columbia broke apart upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere in 2003.
According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, there are around 1, 000 satellites in operation above the Earth's atmosphere.
