Exosphere: from 500 - 1000 km (300 - 600 mi) up to 10,000 km (6,000 mi), free-moving particles that may migrate into and out of the magnetosphere or the solar wind.
* Ionosphere: is the part of the atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation. It plays an important part in atmospheric electricity and forms the inner edge of the magnetosphere. It has practical importance because, among other functions, it influences radio propagation to distant places on the Earth. It is located in the thermosphere and is responsible for auroras.
* Thermosphere: from 80 - 85 km (265,000 - 285,000 ft) to 640+ km (400+ mi), temperature increasing with height.
* Mesosphere: From the Greek word "μέσος" meaning middle. The mesosphere extends from about 50 km (160,000 ft) to the range of 80 to 85 km (265,000 - 285,000 ft), temperature decreasing with height. This is also where most meteors burn up when entering the atmosphere.
* Stratosphere: From the Latin word "stratus" meaning a spreading out. The stratosphere extends from the troposphere's 7 to 17 km (23,000 - 60,000 ft) range to about 50 km (160,000 ft). Temperature increases with height. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, the part of the Earth's atmosphere which contains relatively high concentrations of ozone. "Relatively high" means a few parts per million-much higher than the concentrations in the lower atmosphere but still small compared to the main components of the atmosphere. It is mainly located in the lower portion of the stratosphere from approximately 15 to 35 km (50,000 - 115,000 ft) above Earth's surface, though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically.
tropopause boundary
* Troposphere: From the Greek word "τρέπω" meaning to turn or change. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere; it begins at the surface and extends to between 7 km (23,000 ft) at the poles and 17 km (60,000 ft) at the equator, with some variation due to weather factors. The troposphere has a great deal of vertical mixing due to solar heating at the surface. This heating warms air masses, which makes them less dense so they rise. When an air mass rises the pressure upon it decreases so it expands, doing work against the opposing pressure of the surrounding air. To do work is to expend energy, so the temperature of the air mass decreases. As the temperature decreases, water vapor in the air mass may condense or solidify, releasing latent heat that further uplifts the air mass. This process determines the maximum rate of decline of temperature with height, called the adiabatic lapse rate. It contains roughly 80% of the total mass of the atmosphere. 50% of the total mass of the atmosphere is located in the lower 5 km of the troposphere.
What else can I help you with?
What are the three layers of the sun atmosphere in order of increasing distance from the surface?
The three layers of the Sun's atmosphere in order of increasing distance from the surface are the chromosphere, the transition region, and the corona. The chromosphere is located just above the photosphere, while the corona is the outermost layer that extends into space.
What planet has an atmosphere made of three layers of dense hydrogen clouds?
Jupiter is the planet known for having an atmosphere made of three layers of dense hydrogen clouds. The clouds are composed of ammonia crystals, ammonium hydrosulfide, and water vapor.
Does the sun have a atmosphere?
Yes, the sun has an atmosphere called the solar atmosphere. It consists of three main layers: the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona. These layers play important roles in the sun's energy output and solar activity.
How many layers does Mars have?
Yes the planet has layers like earth and i believe it has less layers than earth but what the name of the layers arre I'm not quite sure.The layers of Venus are just like Earth's layers. There all the same thing. The layers are: crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
3 layers of the suns atmosphere?
The three layers of the Sun's atmosphere are the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona. The photosphere is the visible surface where sunspots are found. The chromosphere is a thin layer above the photosphere where solar flares occur. The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, extending millions of kilometers into space.

What are the three transitional layers in the atmosphere?
The three transitional layers in the atmosphere are the tropopause, which separates the troposphere and the stratosphere; the stratopause, which separates the stratosphere and the mesosphere; and the mesopause, which separates the mesosphere and the thermosphere.
What are the effects on the ozone in the first three layers of the atmosphere?
, I'm sorry but there is no answer for this :)
What are the layers of the atmosphere of mars?
There are three layers; The troposphere, first layer. The Mesosphere, middle. and the Exosphere, top layer.
Name the thinnest layer?
crust

What is the middle layer of the middle of the suns atmosphere?
Considering the solar atmosphere to have three layers (photosphere, chromosphere, and corona), the "middle" would be the chromosphere.
What are the different scope of the environment?
The different scopes of the environment are atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Atmosphere is the three layers of the air that envelop the earth.
What are earths first 3 layers in the atmosphere?
The Earth's first three layers of the atmosphere, starting from the surface, are the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. The troposphere is where most weather occurs, the stratosphere contains the ozone layer that protects us from the sun's harmful rays, and the mesosphere is where meteors burn up upon entering the atmosphere.
