The Thermosphere is one of the five principal layers of the atmosphere determined by temperature. The Auroras are formed in the Ionosphere, which is a parallel atmosphere layer so called because it is ionised by solar radiation. The Ionosphere usually overlaps both the Exosphere and the Thermosphere.
Troposphere: 6 - 20 km above the surface of the earth - commercial jet aircraft.
Stratosphere: 20 - 50 km - weather balloons.
Mesosphere: 50 - 85 km - meteors.
Thermosphere: 85 - 690 km - Auroras, Space Shuttle.
Exosphere: 690 - 10,000 km - atmosphere is so thin that particles hardly ever come together.
