Why is there little heat retained in the thermosphere?
The thermosphere is the final layer of the atmosphere. Because it is so close to the sun, and there is nothing to protect it from the sun's heat, it is very warm.
Why is there little heat retained in the warm thermosphere?
The thermosphere is the final layer of the atmosphere. Because it is so close to the sun, and there is nothing to protect it from the sun's heat, it is very warm.
What if the thermosphere disappeared?
If the thermosphere was gone, there would be major heat waves and we would have a lack of oxygen. In other words: we would die.
Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature of all the atmosphere layers?
It is affected most directly by the suns radiation
What is the temperature of thermosphere?
The thermosphere can reach temperatures from 500 to 2000 degrees C or higher. But there is so little matter that the total heat content is extremely low.
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.
What is the thermospheres located?
the ionosphere is located in the Thermosphere. The ionosphere is made out of super charged particles that make heat.
Which atmospheric level is farthest from the lithosphere?
The thermosphere is.
Why is little heat retained in the warm thermosphere?
There are no other layers between in and the sun therefore making it extremely warm.
Is the moon in the thermosphere?
no the moon is not in the Thermosphere
What is below the thermosphere?
The mesosphere is below the thermosphere.
What does thermosphere have to do with tornadoes?
The thermosphere has nothing to do with tornadoes.
