What is the thermosphere's job in the atmosphere and what would happen if there was no thermosphere?

Thermosphere shields us from radiation that the sun emits. That is its main job. It serves as a protective shield against the x-ray and UV radiation being emitted by the sun and keeps earth's temperature in which living things can survive. Without it, the earth will be destroyed by radiation heat.

What would happen if a gamma ray burst hit the earth?
The atmosphere would be fried and the Earth would disentegrate.
What would happen to most meteoroids when they enter earth's atmosphere?
They disintegrate into dust from the heat.
If you don't have the layers of the atmosphere what will happen to us?
we would burn to death from the sun. we would probably run out of air too
What layer of the atmosphere increases in temperature?
The Thermosphere is where the temperature can reach 2700oF (1500oC) due to the high kinetic energy of the particles. However, there are very few particles so that even though the temperature is high, there is actually very little heat; this is a technical paradox caused by the way we define temperature and heat. In other words, a person would freeze to death in the Thermosphere even though the temperature is over 1000 degrees; go figure. The only part of the Earth's atmosphere that has significant heat is the Troposphere near the Earth's surface.THERMOSPHERE
What would happen if more forests were cut down?
The amount of CO2 would in the atmosphere would increase and by the way my name is ANGEL HARPER, lol
Why is it necessary to use special instruments to measure the temperature of the atmosphere in the thermosphere layer?
The thermosphere is the last layer of the atmosphere. Special instruments are needed to measure its temperature because there are very few particles in the thermosphere that would strike a conventional thermometer to heat it.
In which zone of the atmosphere would a temperature of 85 degrees celsius most likely occur?
The Answer is THERMOSPHERE
Which layer of the atmosphere is named after its high temperature?
The only layer I could think of would be the Thermosphere. The reason why this part of the atmosphere is so hot is that it is the top layer of the atmosphere.
Where would you find a space shuttle in the atmosphere?
I am pretty sure that a space shuttle is found in the thermosphere or mesosphere.
What is the coldest layer of the atmosphere?
The mesosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that exists between the stratosphere and the thermosphere. It contains the coldest parts of the Earth's atmosphere, reaching temperature depths of -90°C.
Would you burn in the thermosphere?
The thermosphere is very hot, but you wouldn't necessarily burn up because the particles are so far apart. It would actually feel very cold. I'm not sure what would happen if you did happen to hit just one of these particles, but it certainly wouldn't be as dramatic as burning up.
What would happen if there is were no atmosphere on the earth?
If there were no atmosphere, life, as we know it, would never have developed on Earth.
What would happen if the sun was touching the moons atmosphere?
Our moon has no atmosphere to touch.
What would happen if there would be no atmosphere?
everything would be dead and lifeless.
What would happen to Earth if you destroy your atmosphere?
everyone would die
What layer of atmosphere has the highest temperature?
The thermosphere is the "hottest" layer of the Earth's atmosphere. As the outermost layer with substantial numbers of molecules, it receives the most direct radiation from the Sun. However, despite the high molecular temperatures measured in this layer (as high as 2500°C or 4530°F), the matter is tenuous compared to the lower atmosphere. An object within the thermosphere would absorb very little total heat energy. Almost all satellites, and the International Space Station, orbit within the thermosphere. The layer periodically varies in thickness, stretching from about 80 kilometers in altitude to between 250 and 500 kilometers. The thermosphere.
