Lift

The lift is the pairt o the atmosphere or o ooter space veesible frae the surface o ony astronomical object. It is haurd tae define preceese for mony a raison. In daylicht, the lift o the Yird haes the cast o a deep blue surface acause o the air's spairgin o sunlicht.^[1][2][3][4] The lift is whiles defined as the denser gaseous pairts o a planet's atmosphere. At nicht, the lift haes the cast o a black surface or region spelfert wi starns.

Whan seen frae altitude, as here frae an aeroplane, the lift's colour varies frae fauch tae daurk at elevations naur the zenith
