The thermosphere ranges from 80- about 10,000 km above sea level. There is no definite limit to the thermosphere, however there is a point about halfway to the moon in which the molecules are no longer affected by Earth's gravitational pull, so the molecules shoot out theoretically anywhere in the universe. The thermosphere is also the hottest layer because the suns rays hit this layer directly, not having to pass through the atmosphere. Although it is the hottest, a thermometer would not be able to detect its heat because the molecules are too far spread out. The thermosphere is divided into two parts: the ionosphere and the exosphere. The ionosphere consists of ions that reflect radio waves, giving this layer its name. It ranges from 80-550 km. Through a series of events too in depth to go into right now, the ionosphere creates a magnificent display of lights called the aurora borealis, or northern lights. The exosphere ranges from 550- about 10,000 km, explained above. This layer does not really affect us other than the fact that satellites orbit Earth within it.
The thermosphere is the fourth layer of the Earth's atmosphere and is located above the mesosphere. The air is really thin in the thermosphere. A small change in energy can cause a large change in temperature. That's why the temperature is very sensitive to solar activity. When the sun is active, the thermosphere can heat up to 1,500°C or higher! The Earth's thermosphere also includes the region of the atmosphere called the ionosphere. The ionosphere is a region of the atmosphere that is filled with charged particles. The high temperatures in the thermosphere can cause molecules to ionize. This is why an ionosphere and thermosphere can overlap.
Very cold Extends 45 ft 23 miles from Jupiter
The exosphere is the atmospheric level that is farthest from the lithosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere upwards and gradually transitions into outer space.
The thremosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that has two layers within it. The Thermosphere is the layer farthest from Earth's surface. The first layer of the thermosphere is the Ionosphere, and the second layer of the thermosphere is the exosphere
The boundary between the mesosphere and thermosphere is called the mesopause. This region marks the transition from the middle atmospheric layer (mesosphere) to the outermost layer (thermosphere) of Earth's atmosphere.
the layers of the atmosphere in order are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere
No, the thermosphere is actually heated by the sun's intense radiation. The air in the thermosphere is very sparse, so it can be heated to extremely high temperatures due to the absorption of solar energy.
There is no other name for the thermosphere.
No, the moon is not in the thermosphere. The moon is located in the vacuum of space, beyond Earth's atmosphere and atmospheric layers like the thermosphere.
Christopher Holt discovered the thermosphere
the layer is the thermosphere THERMOSPHERE IS THE ANSWER
The exosphere is the atmospheric level that is farthest from the lithosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere upwards and gradually transitions into outer space.
The two layers of the thermosphere are the Ionosphere and the Exosphere.
The altitude of the Thermosphere is from about 50 miles to 310 miles. The Thermosphere is the biggest of all layers of the Earth's atmosphere.
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.
the thermosphere gets it's name from it's extrmely high temperature, which cn be above 1,000'c.
NO the ionosphere is only in the Thermosphere
One is......... The temperature rises as you go up into the Thermosphere.
The thermosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere far above the troposphere where tornadoes occur. Tornadoes are a result of intense thunderstorms in the lower atmosphere and are not influenced by conditions in the thermosphere.
