Does the air in the thermosphere get thinner and thinner until it fades into space?
Yes - the further away from the Earth's surface you travel - the less gravity there is to hold air molecules around the planet. Eventually, the gravitational pull is so weak, that air molecules can simply 'drift off' into space. Fortunately - enough air is held around the Earth by gravity, to sustain life !

What layer of the atmosphere that blends into space?
The layer of the atmosphere that blends into space is the exosphere. This is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere where the air is very thin and fades into the vacuum of space. The exosphere extends from about 500 kilometers (310 miles) above the Earth's surface and gradually transitions into the emptiness of space.
What is the distance from earth to space barrier?
Strictly speaking, no such "space barrier" between the Earth's atmosphere and outer space exists; Rather, the atmosphere gradually thins out until it reaches vacuum of space. However, there is an imaginary boundary called the Kármán Line which lies at 62 miles or 100 kilometers above Earth's sea level, and is commonly accepted by scientists as defining the official break between Earth's atmosphere and outer space. The Kármán Line sits near the bottom of the thermosphere and just above the mesosphere, and is also the altitude at which the aurora form. The Line is not always considered the edge of space, however. If one were to include the thermosphere and exosphere as part of the atmosphere and not of space, then the barrier could be placed as high as 6,200 miles or 10,000 kilometers above sea level-that's one hundred times higher than the Kármán Line!
How does altitude affect temperature on earth?
It depends on the on what sphere of the atmosphere you are talking about. At ground level (troposhere) it gets colder as altitude rises. Once the altitude reaches the stratosphere the temperature becomes warmer then cools down again as it reaches the stratopause, and continues to decline as altitude increases in the mesophere until the mesopause. The temperature then rises significantly when the altitude is high enough to be considered the thermosphere.
How many layers does earth's atmosphere have?
Earth's atmosphere is divided into five main layers based on temperature changes: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Each layer has distinct characteristics and plays a unique role in Earth's atmosphere.
Why would an ordinary thermometer show a low temperature in the thermosphere?
Individual molecules of gas might be very hot, but there are too few of them to affect a thermometer much. Then the energy lost through black body radiation is more than the energy gained from the few molecules around it, making the thermometer temperature decrease until the lower equilibrium temperature is reached.
What layer of the atmosphere that blends into space?

What happens to the atmosphere as distance increases from the earth?
The Earth's atmosphere becomes thinner the higher it goes, until the vacuum of space is reached.
What kind of effect you face when high air pressure?
It's extremely hard to breath, because the air is thinner the higher you go up until, your space where there is no air.
How do you get rid of a suntan?
The only safe way I've ever heard of is time. Wait until it fades.
How can I make melted chocolate thinner?
To make melted chocolate thinner, you can add a small amount of vegetable oil or melted butter and stir it in until you reach your desired consistency.
How can I make melting chocolate thinner?
To make melting chocolate thinner, you can add a small amount of vegetable oil or melted butter to the chocolate and stir it in until you reach your desired consistency.
How can I make pancakes thinner?
To make pancakes thinner, you can add more liquid to the batter until it reaches your desired consistency. This will help the batter spread out more thinly on the pan when cooking.
What happens to a balloon on a fine day?
If it's a light balloon, it keeps going up, into thinner and thinner atmosphere, until the pressure inside the balloon is so much greater that the pressure outsize , and then it pops.
How do you get popsicle stains off your tongue?
Brush your teeth! And take care to scrub your tongue. If your tongue is still stained, just wait a while until the stain fades.
Why is it hard to breath at the top of a mountain when you live at sea level?
Air is thinner. So until you are used to it -it feels difficult
How do you fade from existence?
There are a number of acceptable answers to this question. One may fade from existence by walking away from someone until they can no longer see you. Another is to starve oneself until so that you fade away to nothing but skin and bones. Finally, when a spirit visits you and then slowly fades away from your sight. I suppose the imagination can conjour up someone who then fades from your thoughts.
How can you repair a burn mark on nylon?
To repair a burn mark on nylon one can mix 1/3 cup of hydrogen peroxide and 1/3 cup warm water. Immerse the burn stained area in the mixture and then iron over the area with an iron set to low until the stain fades. Once dry rub lemon juice on the area and allow to dry in the sun until the stain completely fades.
