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 is the tickness of the thermosphere?

The thickness of the Thermosphere is 210 kilometers. It is 300 Km. away from Earth.


Where is the ionosphhere?

The ionosphere begins at around 85 km and ends at around 600 km, making it start in the border of mesosphere/ thermosphere and end in the border of thermosphere/ exosphere.


What is thickness of the thermosphere?

The thickness of the thermosphere is about 11 kilometers - 30 km. 85 - 600 kilometers not 11 - 30


What is the deepest layer in the atmosphere?

The thermosphere is the deepest layer in the atmosphere, extending from about 80 km to 550 km above Earth's surface. It is where temperatures increase with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation.


Where is the thermosphere?

The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere above the mesosphere. The thermosphere extends from 50 to 55 miles (80-90 km) above sea level, with the upper limit undefined. The temperature in the thermosphere initially rises rapidly with heights up to about 120 miles (200 km) and thereafter increases more slowly. Above 120 miles (200 km) - depending on solar activity - the temperature varies between 600° and 2000°C (1100 and 3600°F).


What layer of the atmosphere contains the ionosphere?

The ionosphere is found within the thermosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It extends from about 80 km to 550 km above the Earth's surface and contains charged particles that can reflect radio waves.


What are the layers of the atmosphere and what are their approximate heights?

The layers of the atmosphere, from lowest to highest, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Their approximate heights are: troposphere (up to 12 km), stratosphere (12-50 km), mesosphere (50-85 km), thermosphere (85-600 km), and exosphere (600+ km).


What layer do Auroras occur in?

Auroras occur in the thermosphere, which is the second-highest layer of Earth's atmosphere. The thermosphere is located between the mesosphere and the exosphere, at an altitude ranging from about 80 km to 600 km above the Earth's surface.


What is the upper part of the earths atmosphere?

ozone


Does people live in the thermosphere or inner layer of the atmosphere?

No, people do not live in the thermosphere. It is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending from about 80 km to 550 km above the Earth's surface, and is not suitable for human habitation due to its extremely low air density and high radiation levels. People live in the lower layers of the atmosphere, primarily in the troposphere and stratosphere.


Which atmospheric layer does NOT exist above polar regions?

The thermosphere does not exist above polar regions. The thermosphere is one of the Earth's atmospheric layers, extending from about 80 km to 550 km above the surface. However, the thermosphere is more commonly found at higher latitudes and near the equator than above polar regions.
