  • The thermosphere is the closest atmosphere in the whole universe.
  • Its where the weather is made.
  • You cant touch it.
  • Its invisible...

#1 The thermosphere is located between the mesosphere and the exosphere.

#2 The mesosphere and the thermosphere make up the ionosphere

#3 The biggest layer in our atmosphere

#4 Space shuttle is the only object that makes it up in the layer

#5 the air is very thin

#6 small amount of energy can cause a large change in temperatures

The thermosphere ranges from 80- about 10,000 km above sea level. There is no definite limit to the thermosphere, however there is a point about halfway to the moon in which the molecules are no longer affected by Earth's gravitational pull, so the molecules shoot out theoretically anywhere in the universe. The thermosphere is also the hottest layer because the suns rays hit this layer directly, not having to pass through the atmosphere. Although it is the hottest, a thermometer would not be able to detect its heat because the molecules are too far spread out. The thermosphere is divided into two parts: the ionosphere and the exosphere. The ionosphere consists of ions that reflect radio waves, giving this layer its name. It ranges from 80-550 km. Through a series of events too in depth to go into right now, the ionosphere creates a magnificent display of lights called the aurora borealis, or northern lights. The exosphere ranges from 550- about 10,000 km, explained above. This layer does not really affect us other than the fact that satellites orbit Earth within it.

The thermosphere is the fourth layer of the Earth's atmosphere and is located above the mesosphere. The air is really thin in the thermosphere. A small change in energy can cause a large change in temperature. That's why the temperature is very sensitive to solar activity. When the sun is active, the thermosphere can heat up to 1,500°C or higher! The Earth's thermosphere also includes the region of the atmosphere called the ionosphere. The ionosphere is a region of the atmosphere that is filled with charged particles. The high temperatures in the thermosphere can cause molecules to ionize. This is why an ionosphere and thermosphere can overlap.

  • its the hottest layer of earth..........
  • it is the 4th layer
  • it contains the inosphere
  • the biggest layer of all 5

A lot of ions can be found in the thermosphere. This is due to ultraviolet radiation. Auroras are also common in this earth's layer.

the ionosphere is located in the Thermosphere. The ionosphere is made out of super charged particles that make heat.

The thermosphere contains a tiny fraction of Earth's atmosphere. Gases are so rare and sparse you would not feel the increase in heat, which reaches 1000 degrees centigrade.
