Yes, it is true that the ionosphere is considered part of the thermosphere, which is the layer of Earth's atmosphere located above the mesosphere. The ionosphere specifically refers to the region within the thermosphere that is ionized by solar radiation, affecting radio wave propagation and communications. It extends roughly from about 30 miles (48 kilometers) to 600 miles (965 kilometers) above the Earth's surface.

True or false the troposphere is divided into the ionosphere and the exosphere?

False. The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, where weather occurs, and it is not divided into the ionosphere and the exosphere. The ionosphere is a separate layer that overlaps with the thermosphere, while the exosphere is the outermost layer of the atmosphere, above the thermosphere.


True or false is the exosphere the outer layer of the thermosphere?

True. The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, located within the thermosphere. It is where the atmosphere transitions into outer space.


Is it true or false the troposphere is divided into the ionosphere and the exosphere?

That is false.


Do the satellites orbit earth in the exosphere?

Satellites orbit Earth in the thermosphere and exosphere, which are the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere. The exosphere is the outermost layer of the atmosphere where most satellites, particularly those in geostationary orbit, are found.


Why the mesosphere the coldest layer?

The mesosphere is the coldest layer. In the outer mesosphere, temperatures approach -90 degrees Celsius. However, a thermometer would measure the thermosphere to be well below 0 degrees Celsius. The thermosphere is actually very hot. It can get up to 1, 800 degrees Celsius. You would not feel that warmth though because temperature is the average amount of energy in motion of each molecule of a substance. The gas molecules in the thermosphere move very rapidly, so the temperature is very high. The molecules are spread very far apart and there are not enough of them to collide with the thermometer and warm it very much. If you are researching this, all I can tell you is to not believe what other people are saying about the fact that the higher you get, the colder it is because the evidence is perfectly clear that it is not true.

The region of the atmosphere closest to the earth's surface is the stratosphere True or false?

FALSE. The layers of the atmosphere begin with the troposphere (surface to about 10 km), and continue outward with the stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The outermost layer, the exosphere, is sometimes included in the thermosphere, as is the ionosphere.

Does all life on earth exist in the ionosphere true or false?

False. Most life on Earth exists in the biosphere, which includes the surface of the planet and areas where organisms can live. The ionosphere is a region in the Earth's upper atmosphere that is much higher than where most life exists.


Is it true that the middle portion of the stratosphere contains a layer of ozone?

Yes. It is true. It is called ozone layer.


According to the law of superposition which layer is oldest and youngest?

When we consider the position of geologic layers, the ones on top are said to be superpositioned, and these upper layers are, in general, younger than layers below them. The thinking is that the upper layers were set down or laid down on the lower ones, so the lower ones have to be older than the upper ones for that to be true.
