Across
  1. 2. it takes Earth one year to complete a full on of these around the sun
  2. 3. begins at an altitude of 80 kilometers and extents into space
  3. 5. a wind system that is characterized by seasonal reversal of directions
  4. 7. a belt of high speed wind in the upper troposphere
  5. 10. most meteoroids burn up in this layer of the atmosphere
  6. 12. the cooler air over the water flows towards land creating this
  7. 14. scientists use it to measure air pressure
