Gravity in the thermosphere, like in other layers of Earth's atmosphere, is the force that attracts objects toward the planet's center. However, the thermosphere, which extends from about 85 to 600 kilometers above the Earth's surface, experiences a decrease in air density, leading to a less pronounced effect of gravity on objects compared to lower atmospheric layers. While gravity is still present, the extremely thin air results in phenomena such as the high altitude of satellites and the behavior of particles in this layer being influenced more by energy from solar radiation than by gravitational pull.

What is the other name for thermosphere?
There is no other name for the thermosphere.
Is the moon in the thermosphere?
No, the moon is not in the thermosphere. The moon is located in the vacuum of space, beyond Earth's atmosphere and atmospheric layers like the thermosphere.
What layer of the atmosphere is the ISS in?
the layer is the thermosphere THERMOSPHERE IS THE ANSWER
What 2 layers is the thermosphere made of?
The thermosphere is divided into two layers: the lower thermosphere (at about 80-550 km altitude) and the upper thermosphere (above 550 km altitude). The upper thermosphere is where most of the auroras occur due to interactions with solar radiation.
What are characteristics of the Thermosphere?
One is......... The temperature rises as you go up into the Thermosphere.
What are the two characteristics of the thermosphere?
northern lights here between exosphere and mesosphere gravity and air pressure decrease

Is the moon in the thermosphere?
No, the moon is not in the thermosphere. The moon is located in the vacuum of space, beyond Earth's atmosphere and atmospheric layers like the thermosphere.
Who discovered the thermosphere?
Christopher Holt discovered the thermosphere
What layer of the atmosphere is the ISS in?

Which atmospheric level is farthest from the lithosphere?
The exosphere is the atmospheric level that is farthest from the lithosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere upwards and gradually transitions into outer space.
What are the layer of the thermosphere?
The two layers of the thermosphere are the Ionosphere and the Exosphere.
What is the altitude of thermosphere?
The altitude of the Thermosphere is from about 50 miles to 310 miles. The Thermosphere is the biggest of all layers of the Earth's atmosphere.
What 2 layers is the thermosphere made of?
The thermosphere is divided into two layers: the lower thermosphere (at about 80-550 km altitude) and the upper thermosphere (above 550 km altitude). The upper thermosphere is where most of the auroras occur due to interactions with solar radiation.
Why is thermosphere called the thermosphere?
the thermosphere gets it's name from it's extrmely high temperature, which cn be above 1,000'c.
Does the ionosphere stretche from the mesosphere through the thermosphere?
NO the ionosphere is only in the Thermosphere
What are characteristics of the Thermosphere?
One is......... The temperature rises as you go up into the Thermosphere.
