The thermosphere is the "hottest" layer of the Earth's atmosphere. As the outermost layer with substantial numbers of molecules, it receives the most direct radiation from the Sun.
However, despite the high molecular temperatures measured in this layer (as high as 2500°C or 4530°F), the matter is tenuous compared to the lower atmosphere. An object within the thermosphere would absorb very little total heat energy. Almost all satellites, and the International Space Station, orbit within the thermosphere. The layer periodically varies in thickness, stretching from about 80 kilometers in altitude to between 250 and 500 kilometers. The thermosphere.

Which layer of the atmosphere is the highest?
Mesosphere
Which layer of the atmosphere is the highest that in airplane can fly?
The stratosphere
The layer of the atmosphere with the lowest temperature is the?
Mesosphere
Which layer of the atmosphere is named after its high temperature?
The only layer I could think of would be the Thermosphere. The reason why this part of the atmosphere is so hot is that it is the top layer of the atmosphere.
In which layer is the temperature the highest?
the inner core
What layer in the atmosphere has the highest temperature?
thermosphere
What layer is the atmosphere pressure highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
What is the highest layer of the atmosphere?
The highest layer of atmosphere is the exosphere. The layers from earth are; troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere.
Can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere that is closer to the sun the hotter the temperature?
Can you generalize that the higher the layer of the temperature that is close to the sun the hotter the temperature? Why or why not?
What layer is the pressure the highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
What layer of the atmosphere is the highest layer that will sustain life?
Troposphere
What layer has the heights air pressuer?
atmosphere it has the highest layer
Which layer of the atmosphere is the highest?
Mesosphere
Which is the third highest layer of the atmosphere?
Mesosphere
When does temperature occur?
A layer in the atmosphere in which temperature increases with altitude.
Which layer of the atmosphere is the highest that in airplane can fly?
The stratosphere
Which layer of the atmosphere is the highest that an airplanes can fly?
stratosphere
