The exosphere typically starts around 500 kilometers (310 miles) above Earth's surface and extends out to about 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles). This is where the atmosphere transitions into outer space and where satellites orbit.

What is the average temp of the Exosphere?

The average temperature in the exosphere is 1500 k.


What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the exosphere?

In the exosphere, temperature increases with altitude. This is because the particles in the exosphere are far apart, so there is no transfer of heat through conduction or convection. Instead, the few particles present gain energy from solar radiation, causing an increase in temperature as altitude increases.


What happens to temperature as altitude increases in the exosphere?

In the exosphere, temperature increases with altitude. This is because the few particles in this layer can absorb large amounts of solar radiation, leading to higher temperatures the higher you go.


How many layer on the sky?

The Earth's atmosphere is divided into five primary layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Each layer has distinct characteristics, such as temperature changes, composition, and altitude range.


How does a satellite get into the exosphere?

It has to be carried there by a rocket, which takes it to the required altitude and orbital speed.


Is the elevation above sea level?

What is in the international space station?

above the msosphere and below the exosphere sumwhere around there Its orbit is in the thermosphere which is approximately at a altitude of 300km. it is above the mesosphere and below the exosphere.


What altitude is the exosphere?

Well, that's hard to say. You can take an estimate by knowing that it is the uppermost atmospheric layer, and that beyond it, is outer space. The exosphere is right above the thermosphere (and ionosphere), and the thermosphere can range up to 85-500 km. above Earth. So yeah, the exosphere is pretty high up. P.S. The exosphere is where space shuttles travel.

What layer of the atmosphere lies between the mesosphere and the exosphere?

The thermosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that lies between the mesosphere and the exosphere. It is characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and is where the auroras occur.


What are the 5 zones of the atmosphere?

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.
