It is the outer most layer of atmosphere. The air is very thin and there is no difinite outer limit. It is so hot because sunlight stikes the thermoshphere first. Nitrogen and oxygen molecules convert energy into heat. Thermoshphere doesn't contain enough air molecules to collide with. Lower layer of theromsphere is ionoshphere and the outer portion is exosphere.

∙ 9y agoSome characteristics are:
- The exosphere is the final layer of the atmosphere.
- It is not very well defined...it has no definite end. It just gradually fades into outer space.
- It contains the light gases, like Helium and Hydrogen.
- Pressure is too low to breath.
- Satilites are found here.
it is really hot and can be very cold too wrong
exosphere has satellites

Contains a lot of ozone (ozone layer):
• Found in the stratosphere between 10 - 50km above the ground
• Protects us from the harmful effects of UV of certain wavelengths
• Decrease in ozone concentration -->Increase in UV-B radiation reaching the earth surface

2. contains high conentration of the gas ozone
3. ozone is a protectant in this layer

Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?\
Is the stratosphere in the homosphere or the heterosphere?
stratosphere is in the heterosphere
What is the thickness of the stratosphere?
The thickness of stratosphere is 43 km.
How is water trapped in stratosphere?
Water is trapped beneath the stratosphere by the tropopause. (The tropopause is the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere.)

How could ozone be characterized in the stratosphere?
Ozone layer is present at certain height in the stratosphere. It is the only characteristic of the layer of ozone.
Is the upper stratosphere cooler than the lower stratosphere?
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?\
The upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere.?
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?\
What characteristic divides earth's atmosphere into layers?
The characteristic is temperature. While pressure diminishes with increasing altitude, it is dependent on the underlying air masses. Temperature changes vary consistently within each of the major layers (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere).
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?\
Is the stratosphere in the homosphere or the heterosphere?
stratosphere is in the heterosphere
Why is the stratosphere being depleted?
The stratosphere is depleted due to CFC's. They deplete the ozone present in the stratosphere.
Aeroplanes are flown in which layer of the atmosphere?
They Fly In the Stratosphere. The Stratosphere is the 2 Major Atmosphere
Is the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere (where we live). The ozone layer is found in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere is the lowest layer where temperature increases with increasing altitude.
How do you use the word stratosphere in a sentence?
The stratosphere is the second closest layer of the atmosphere to the earth. The ozone is in the stratosphere.
What is the thickness of the stratosphere?
The thickness of stratosphere is 43 km.
