The Troposphere- The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The air is very well mixed and the temperature decreases with altitude.
The Stratosphere- In the Earth's stratosphere, the temperature increases with altitude. On Earth, ozone causes the increasing temperature in the stratosphere. Ozone is concentrated around an altitude of 25 kilometers. The ozone molecules absorb dangerous kinds of sunlight, which heats the air around them.The stratosphere is located above the top of the the troposphere.The Mesosphere In the Earth's mesosphere, the air is relatively mixed together and the temperature decreases with altitude. The atmosphere reaches its coldest temperature of around -90°C in the mesosphere. This is also the layer in which a lot of meteors burn up while entering the Earth's atmosphere.The Thermosphere 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.

How many layers are in the atmosphere?
There are five layers in the atomosphere. The troposhere, the stratoshere, the mesoshere, the thermoshere and the exosphere. There is also the ionosphere which is within the thermosphere and is noted for its chemistry.
Why are there so many layers in the atmosphere?
Why are there so many layers in the atmosphere
State the layers of the atmosphere?
Layers of the atmosphere are the stratosphere,troposphere,mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere.
What priperty is used to distinguish the layers of the atmosphere?
Temperature is the property used to distinguish the layers of the atmosphere
Does the temperature in the layers of the sun's atmosphere evenly distributed?
The sun does not have an atmosphere. In the earth, the temperature in the different layers is not evenly distributed.
Is there five layers on the Earths atmosphere?
No
How many layers make up the atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere can be divided into five main layers.
Are there five layers of earths atmosphere?
yes
Are the five layers of the atmosphere in earth or out of earth?
The atmosphere is above the earth.
There are five layers of earths atmosphere true or not?
:9 true
What layer forms a protective layer around the planet and is divid into five distinct layers?
Atmosphere. It is divided into five distinct layers.
What are the five atmosphere of the earth?
The five layers are called Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere.
How do atmospheric layers differ?
The five layers of the atmosphere have different atmospheric temperature that occurs with increasing altitude. The layers also thin out with height from the surface.
What are the four most common layers of the atmosphere?
There are four major spheres of the Earth, which are lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. The atmosphere is divided into five layers, which are (in order from closest to surface to furthest from surface) troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere.
How many layers of the earth's atmosphere have names?
There are five named layers. They are listed below in order from the closest to the Earth and the farthest.TroposphereStratosphereMesosphereThermosphere (including ionosphere)Exosphere
