Where does thermosphere get energy?
the sun
What part of the atmosphere blocks solar energy?
The Thermosphere primarily blocks solar energy.
What layer of the atmosphere do oxygen and nitrogen atoms absorb energy from the sun?
The Thermosphere does.
The Aurora borealis is caused by the what?
Aurora Borealis is caused by particles hitting earth's atmosphere thermosphere and they are stopped, so they give of their energy in the "Northern Lights" or Aurora Borealis.
Which atmospheric level is farthest from the lithosphere?
The thermosphere is.
Is it hot in the thermosphere?
It has a high temperature but it is not hot. Temperature (kinetic energy) and hot (thermal energy - a way of transferring energy between objects) are not the same thing. Temperature is the average velocity of particles, which in the thermosphere is quite high, but they are far less dense than in the troposphere, which means that they collide much less often and those fewer collision mean less energy transfer (less heat).
Is the moon in the thermosphere?
no the moon is not in the Thermosphere
Why would a thermometer show a low temperature in the thermosphere?
Temperature is the average amount of energy of motion of each molecule of a substance gas molecules in the thermosphere move very rapidly, so the temperature is very high
What does thermosphere have to do with tornadoes?
The thermosphere has nothing to do with tornadoes.
What is below the thermosphere?
The mesosphere is below the thermosphere.
Who discovered thermosphere?
Christopher Holt discovered the thermosphere
What is What are facts about the thermosphere?
the thermosphere is 520 km. thick
