The exosphere is the atmospheric layer that is the furthest from Earth's surface. It extends from about 500 km to 10,000 km above sea level.
Well, there, friend, Mars does indeed have a very thin stratosphere, just like Earth. It's not as thick as Earth's because Mars has less gravity and less atmosphere overall. Despite its differences, every place has its own unique beauty in the universe, you see.
Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere
In the stratosphere, you can find the ozone layer, which helps to absorb the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. It is also a layer of the Earth's atmosphere where commercial jet aircraft fly to avoid weather and turbulence found in the lower layers.
The stratosphere is the layer of Earth's atmosphere located above the troposphere, extending from about 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface. It contains the ozone layer, which helps absorb and scatter the Sun's ultraviolet radiation, providing important protection for life on Earth. The stratosphere is characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone molecules.
