Technically the thermosphere is the layer between the mesopshere and the exosphere. the exosphere is the highest layer in the 5 layers of atmosphere. The exosphere temperature ranges are between 300 degrees to 1700 degrees Celsius, and also it contains hydrogen and helium. Now, facts about the mesosphere. it's the layer within the Earth's atmosphere that extends from about 50 to 85 km (31 to 53 mi) above the surface. The mesosphere is predominantly characterized by its thermal structure. On average, mesospheric temperature decreases with increasing height. This is the coldest layer because it is above the ozone layer Most meteors burn up in this layer, as well. thermosphere The mesosphere and the thermosphere make up the ionosphere,the air is very thin,small amount of energy can cause a large change in temperatures. and that's it!

What is the name of the air layers?
The layers are present in stratosphere. These are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere.
Name the parts of the atmosphere?
Nitrogen (about 78.084%), oxygen (about 20.9476%), Argon (about 0.934%). Trace amounts of Neon, Helium, Krypton, Hydrogen, and Iodine. There are also other compounds such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, but these don't count as elements. Primarily Oxygen & Nitrogen and other rare gasses.
Is the lower mantle solid or a liquid?
niether. The mesosphere is a layer of the atmosphere of earth, so it would be a gas. It is the coldest layer of the atmosphere reaching temperatures of -90 C. by mjjm23: No, it is a layer of the earth!! that is wrong, but i don't know the answer! THE ANSWER IS SOLID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE IN THAT AREA OF THE EARTH IN COMPARISON TO THE MATERIALS IN THE MESOSPHERE. THE MESOSPHERE IS SOLID. BUT YES THE MESOSPHERE IS ALSO THE NAME OF AN ATMOSPHERIC LAYER. BUT IN THE EARTH IT IS SOLID...
What are the Layers of the Atmosphere and What about them?
SectionsSection 1- What are the Layers of the Atmosphere?Section 2- TroposphereSection 3- StratosphereSection 4- TropopauseSection 5- Ozone LayerSection 5- MesosphereSection 6- ThermosphereSection 7- ExosphereSection 8- SummaryWhat are the Layers of the Atmosphere?The Main Layers of the Atmosphere are...TroposphereStratosphereMesosphereThermosphereThose are the main Layers of the atmosphere. If people want to know every layer of the atmosphere,here they are...TroposphereStratosphereOzone LayerOtosphereMesosphereThermosphereIonosphere (If corrected)ExosphereThose layers are part of the Atmosphere,some say they have different layers and they say,those are not the layers of the atmosphere,and other commets. Mostly the Ozone layer is part of the Stratosphere Layer,and the Ionosphere (If corrected) is the Thermosphere,is part of the Thermosphere,or it is another layer of the atmosphere.TroposphereThe Troposphere is where we live in and where a lot of clouds and weather form. The top of the Troposphere is cold,the bottom or the ground of the Troposphere is warm or hot,so the higher you go,the colder it gets,the lower you go,the warmer or hotter it gets.For example:When you climb a mountain,it is very warm at the bottom,but when you keep climbing up,it gets colder,it is like ME (Mount Everest) the tallest mountain in the world.StratosphereThe Stratosphere is the only layer that has the ozone layer,and nothing happens in that layer but it is the oppisite, the higher you go,the warmer or hotter it gets,the lower you go,the colder it is. There is another layer but it is a small layer of the atmosphere,it is called a Tropopause.TropopauseThe Tropopause is a little layer between the Troposphere and the Stratosphere,in fact, theres more tropopauses in all the layers,theres one between the Mesosphere and the Stratosphere,theres one between the Mesosphere and the Thermosphere,and the Exosphere might be a layer but it is way up but may have a Tropause,maybe theres a Tropopause between the Thermosphere and the Exosphere.Ozone LayerThe Ozone layer is where the suns energy is taken away but some get in the Earths Atmosphere,if the Ozone Layer was not there,we would had died thousands of years ago,and a lot of suns energy will go into the Earths Atmosphere. It is in the Stratosphere too,and it is not red,it is full of gasses.MesosphereThe "Maybe only layer"that scientists know is the Mesosphere.The Mesosphere is a layer that scientists dont know very much then the other layers like the Troposphere and the Stratosphere,it is very far from earth and that is when the meteors burn up.There is only one cloud that not even the biggest cloud can go to the Mesosphere,the name of the cloud is, Noctilucent clouds. Those hardly go to the Mesosphere and maybe in the south and north pole have them,scientists use rockets that dont orbit to try to study the Mesosphere,it is very difficult to study the Mesosphere.ThermosphereThe Thermosphere is Greek for "Hot" and it is the hottest layer of the atmosphere.I know so little about the Thermosphere,even Scientists but they know about the Thermosphere then me so the Thermosphere is about 80 km long on earth,all the way to the Thermosphere.This Comment will improve but mostly only the section "Thermosphere"ExosphereThe highest/outermost of which is the exosphere at approximately 600 km above Earth's surface. The exosphere is very thin and is mainly made up of hydrogen and helium, the lightest gases (there is also some carbon dioxide and oxygen). Towards the top, the molecules of the exosphere are so far apart that there is no clear boundary between the exosphere and outer space; some scientists even consider it part of outer space. Some molecules that are traveling fast enough escape into space, while others are pulled back by gravity, but the molecules in the exosphere do not usually collide with each other because it is so low-density. Stiil some times it is true.Plus is where near satellites are and when the rocket ships finally get out of Earth's Atmosphere.SummaryToday we learned about the Layers of the Atmosphere and facts about it,we even learned the three or two layers that we know very little,and we talked about a lot about them,only the thermosphere we talked a little bit and maybe another one.See ya Next time!Celestal101AskerImprovements will come in this Answer...
Which layer of the atmosphere contains no air?
The exosphere, which is Earth's outermost atmospheric layer, contains very few (atmospheric) molecules. It is the last thing separating us and "space" as we know it.
What is the name of the layer of earth's atmosphere?
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere are 5 layers of earth's atmosphere.
How many miles away from earth does the thermosphere end?
The thermosphere is what we call the layer between the mesosphere and the exosphere. We associate that name with the region of the atmosphere between altitudes of 90 to 1,000 km (56 to 621 miles).
Name the different layers of atmosphere?
trophere , stratosphere, mesosphere , thermosphere and exosphere
What is the name of the air layers?
The layers are present in stratosphere. These are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere.
What is the other name of the layer thermosphere?
ionosphere
Name of the layer where satellites orbit?
Thermosphere
Where is the mesosphere located?
The mesosphere is the layer of Earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from 50 kilometers to 100 kilometers above sea level. The name mesphere also, though less often, refers to a layer of Earth's mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core. It extends from 660 kilometers to 2,700 kilometers below the surface.

What facts about the thermosphere?
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 temperaturesThe 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.Very cold Extends 45 ft 23 miles from Jupiterits the hottest layer of earth..........it is the 4th layerit contains the inospherethe biggest layer of all 5
