Where are aurora's located in the atmosphere?
The aurora borealis and aurora australis occur in the Ionosphere from around 100 km up. This layer of the atmosphere is also called the Thermosphere.
What are the four layers of the atmosphere from lowest to highest?
Well let me start with this, there are 5 layers on earths atmosphere, the Troposhere, Strotosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. The main layer is the Troposphere because that is were our weather mainly happens.
In which layer of the atmosphere do the Auroras occur?
In the upper mesosphere and the lower thermosphere, gas particles become electrically charged. Because these charged particles are called ions, this part of the thermosphere is called the ionosphere. In polar regions these ions radiate energy as shimmering lights called auroras, usually in latitudes above 50 degrees. The Aurora Borealis and its southern counterpart the Aurora Australis are formed high in the atmosphere in the ionosphere, which is sometimes considered as part of the thermosphere, the outermost actual atmosphere. Above this layer, the exosphere has so few molecules that they can escape into space. For more information visit the question "What causes the Aurora Borealis?"
Why is the thermosphere also called the ionosphere?

The lowest temperatures in the atmosphere exist in the?
Mesosphere, in a portion toward the top of this layer called the mesopause - about 50 - 55 miles up. Here the temperatures can be as low as 100'C
Why upper layer of atmosphere is called thermosphere?
because temperatures increase steadily with altitude.
Which layer of the atmosphere is the highest?
Mesosphere
What is the layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere is called the?
The lower part of the thermosphere that begins 400 kilometers above the surface of the earth is called the ionosphere. The highest part of the thermosphere is called the exosphere.
What is the first layer of the atmosphere that an astronaut passes through during reentry from space?
The last layer of the atmosphere is called the thermosphere. They vary outer edge of the thermosphere is an area called the ionosphere.
What and where are the ionosphere and exosphere?
The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ionosphere and exosphere is called the thermosphere. The exosphere is at the top and the ionosphere is at the bottom.
What is the last layer of the atmosphere prior to entering space called?
thermosphere
The last layer of the atmosphere prior to entering space is the?
It is called the thermosphere.
What is the layer of the earth's atmosphere ionized by solar radiation?
Not sure about it. But I remembered this layer of the atmosphere called the ionosphere or the thermosphere.
What is the hot outermost layer of air called?
The hottest outer area of the Earth's atmosphere is called the Thermosphere.
What are the five atmosphere of the earth?
The five layers are called Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere.
What is the hot outermost layer of air?
The hottest outer area of the Earth's atmosphere is called the Thermosphere.
What are the earths four atmosphere layers called?
Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere (containing ionosphere), exosphere.
