What is the layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere is called the?

The lower part of the thermosphere that begins 400 kilometers above the surface of the earth is called the ionosphere. The highest part of the thermosphere is called the exosphere.


Are there stars in the thermosphere?

No, stars are located in outer space beyond Earth's atmosphere. The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere that begins about 80 kilometers above the surface and extends to about 550 kilometers where it transitions into the exosphere. The thermosphere is not a place where stars are found.


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 the point on the earths surface that is directly above where the earthquake begins?

The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake begins is known as the epicenter. It is the point on the surface vertically above the focus or hypocenter of the earthquake, where the seismic waves originate. Seismologists use the epicenter to locate and map earthquake events.

Is Weather determined by the conditions in the thermosphere?

No, the thermosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that begins around 80 km above the Earth's surface. Weather is primarily determined by conditions in the lower atmosphere, specifically the troposphere. Factors such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, and wind patterns in the troposphere play a significant role in determining weather patterns.

Describe the extent and structure of the atmosphere?

Earth's atmosphere is comprised of layers of gases that are retained by the earth's gravity.There are 5 main layers:exosphere - outermost layerstratosphere thermosphere mesospheretroposphere - begins at earth's surface and extends to between 7 km of the earth's poles at the equator with some variation due to weather.There are layers within these layers:ozone - within the stratosphereionosphere - ionized by solar radiationhomosphere and heterosphere - determined by whether or not the gases are well mixed (not that there's anything wrong with thatPlanetary boundary layer - part of the troposphere nearest the earth's surface

Understanding is a word to describe you. It begins with the letter U.


In which layer of the atmosphere do the Northern Lights occur?

The "Northern Lights" (or Aurora Borealis) and their southern counterpart the Aurora Australis are formed high in the atmosphere in the ionosphere, which is sometimes considered as part of the thermosphere, the outermost actual atmospheric layer. Above this layer, the exosphere has so few molecules that they can escape into space.(see the related question below)

If a rocket were launched to a height of 210 kilometers above sea level which layer of the atmosphere would it rise to?

If a rocket is launched to a height of 210 kilometers above sea level, it would reach the thermosphere, which extends from about 85 kilometers to 600 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This layer is characterized by a significant increase in temperature with altitude and contains a small amount of air. Above the thermosphere lies the exosphere, which begins around 600 kilometers.
