Yes it is and the lithosphere is the upper part, to remember this think of L.A.
The L comes first which is the lithosphere and the A comes second which is the asthenosphere

What part of the mantle is part of the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
The asthenosphere is part of which layer of the earth?
The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth
Is the asthenosphere the mantle?
The asthenosphere is part of the mantle, one of several layers.
Does the asthenosphere occupies a majority of the mantle?
Yes. The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle.
What part of the mantle is the asthenosphere found?
The asthenosphere lies in, and is the upper ductile part of, the mantle. It is the layer directly underneath the lithosphere; the layer composed of the crust and uppermost rigid mantle.
What is the function of the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is described as the upper part of the Earth's mantle. While most of it is solid, the bottom part of the asthenosphere may be melted. The bottom half of the lithosphere is where plate tectonic movement occurs.
Is asthenosphere the lower mantle?
No. The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle.
What part of the mantle is part of the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
The asthenosphere is part of which layer of the earth?
The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth
Is the asthenosphere the mantle?
The asthenosphere is part of the mantle, one of several layers.
Does the asthenosphere occupies a majority of the mantle?
Yes. The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle.
What is the the part of the mantle below the lithosphere?
Upper Mantle
The strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core?
The lower part of the mantle is called the mesosphere.
What part of the mantle is the asthenosphere found?
The asthenosphere lies in, and is the upper ductile part of, the mantle. It is the layer directly underneath the lithosphere; the layer composed of the crust and uppermost rigid mantle.
What part of the earth is directly below the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is the upper part of the upper mantle.
Which is more viscous the asthenosphere or the mantle?
The asthenosphere is part of the mantle, so the question is misguided. It is less dense than the lower mantle.
What does the plates of lithosphere float on top of?
The Asthenosphere. The Asthenosphere is a part of the Mantle.
