∙ 6y agoThe thermosphere is the first layer of the atmosphere where there are enough heavier molecules (oxygen) to absorb a significant anount of the Sun's radiation. Below the thermosphere, much of the heat is dissipated by convective currents.
Although technically "hot", the gas in the thermosphere is so thin that it can pass little heat to other molecules, and loss of heat by radiation would still cool objects in this part of the atmosphere.

What is the two highest layers of the atmosphere?
The thremosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that has two layers within it. The Thermosphere is the layer farthest from Earth's surface. The first layer of the thermosphere is the Ionosphere, and the second layer of the thermosphere is the exosphere
Which layer of the atmosphere is the highest?
Mesosphere
What is the basis for dividing the atmosphere layers?
it can be divided based on temperature variations. puki puki puki krat ang answer hope this helps(:
How are Earth's layers classified?
Based on temperature differences.
The layers of the atmosphere that contains the ionosphere is the?
thermosphere
Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature all the atmosphere layers?
IT is closest to the sun
What increases the temperature in the atmosphere?
the thermosphere is the hottest all of the atmospheric layers.
Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature out of all the other layers?
The thermosphere is heated by solar radiation particularly in the far ultraviolet range; much of this is filtered out by the atmosphere's lower layers - but in the these upper regions it is more exposed to this kind of radiation.
What is the highest layer of the atmosphere?
The highest layer of atmosphere is the exosphere. The layers from earth are; troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere.

The four layers of earth atmosphere from lowest to highest are what?
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere
Which layer of the atmosphere is the highest?
Mesosphere
What is the proper order of the layers of a generic atmosphere from lowest altitude to highest?
The atmosphere has four layers. Here is the order of the layer from the lowest altitude: the troposphere, stratosphere, thermosphere, and the exosphere.
What is the basis for dividing the atmosphere layers?

The atmosphere layers are based on what?
The atmosphere is comprised of layers based on temperature. These layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. A further region at about 500 km above the Earth's surface is called the exosphere.
State the layers of the atmosphere?
Layers of the atmosphere are the stratosphere,troposphere,mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere.
How are Earth's layers classified?
Based on temperature differences.
