What else can I help you with?
What layer of the atmosphere satellites located?
The mesosphere i think
What do humans use the mesosphere for?
Humans do not use the mesosphere for any specific purpose, as it is the third layer of Earth's atmosphere located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It is too high for aircraft or satellites to operate, so we do not directly utilize the mesosphere for any practical applications.
Can satellites and airplanes fly in the mesosphere?
No, there is too much atmospheric drag at these heights for a satellite to maintain an orbit, but it is too high for airplanes which have 'air breathing' engines. Some high altitude planes such as the SR-71 Blackbird and U2 can fly up to 25km, but not as high as 50km which is the lower boundary for the Mesosphere. Some experimental rocket planes such as the X-15 have been able reach these heights.
Can a person go to the mesosphere?
Yes
Does the density in the mesosphere go up or down?
The density of the mesosphere is lower than the density of the trophosphere or stratosphere. As you go higher into the atmosphere, the density decreases.
Are all the spacecrafts that go to moon called satellites?
No - satellites do not go to the moon. Satellites orbit planets/moons/objects with gravity in space.
What is a fact about the mesosphere most people dont know?
The mesosphere is the layer of Earth's atmosphere that is too high for airplanes but too low for satellites to orbit. It is also the coldest layer of the atmosphere, with temperatures dropping as low as -130 degrees Fahrenheit. The mesosphere is where most meteoroids burn up upon entering Earth's atmosphere.
Is the layer of the atmosphere where satellites and the space shuttle orbit the earth?
Satellites and the space shuttle orbit in the thermosphere, a layer of the Earth's atmosphere located between the mesosphere and exosphere. Temperatures in the thermosphere can reach up to 2,500°C due to the absorption of solar radiation.
What is the lapse rate in mesosphere?
The lapse rate in the mesosphere is generally around -2 to -3 degrees Celsius per kilometer (°C/km). This means that as you go higher in the mesosphere, the temperature decreases by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius for every kilometer in altitude.
Do satellites go by Venus?
yes many
What happened in the mesosphere?
The mesosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The mesosphere is above the stratosphere layer. The layer above the mesosphere is called the thermosphere. The mesosphere starts at 50 km (31 miles) above Earth's surface and goes up to 85 km (53 miles) high.As you get higher up in the mesosphere, the temperature gets colder. The top of the mesosphere is the coldest part of Earth's atmosphere. The temperature there is around -90° C (-130° F)!The boundaries between layers in the atmosphere have special names. The mesopause is the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere above it. The stratopause is the boundary between the mesosphere and the stratosphere below it.We know less about the mesosphere than about other layers of the atmosphere. The mesosphere is hard to study. Weather balloons and jet planes cannot fly high enough to reach the mesosphere. The orbits of satellites are above the mesosphere. We don't have many ways to get scientific instruments to the mesosphere to take measurements there. We do get some measurements using sounding rockets. Sounding rockets make short flights that don't go into orbit. Overall, there's a lot we don't know about the mesosphere because it is hard to measure and study.What do we know about the mesosphere? Most meteors from space burn up in this layer. A special type of clouds, called "noctilucent clouds", sometimes forms in the mesosphere near the North and South Poles. These clouds are strange because they form much, much higher up than any other type of cloud. There are also odd types of lightning in the mesosphere. These types of lightning, called "sprites" and "ELVES", appear dozens of miles above thunderclouds in the troposphere below.In the mesosphere and below, different kinds of gases are all mixed together in the air. Above the mesosphere, the air is so thin that atoms and molecules of gases hardly ever run into each other. The gases get separated some, depending on the kinds of elements (like nitrogen or oxygen) that are in them.You know that waves can form in the ocean or other bodies of water. But did you know that there are waves of air in the atmosphere? Some of these waves start in the lower atmosphere, the troposphere and stratosphere, and move upward into the mesosphere. The waves carry energy to the mesosphere. Most of the movement of air in the mesosphere is caused by these wave
Where is the mesosphere?
The mesosphere is in space it is the 3rd atmosphere.
