The atmosphere is divided into layers with different temperature lapse rates: the stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Within the stratosphere is the ozone layer which protects the surface from UV light. The Kármán line marks the boundary between atmosphere and outer space. Thermal energy causes some molecules at the edge of the atmosphere to reach escape velocity and leak into space over time, with hydrogen leaking the most readily due to its low mass. This hydrogen loss contributed to Ea
