How are the earths layers alike?

The layers of the earth differ in thickness,density,physical state of materials and temperature.


Which atmospheric layer is where space shuttles orbit?

The atmosphere is divided in to five layers. These are Troposhere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere. The space shuttles orbit in thermosphere.The atmosphere is divided in to five layers. These are Troposhere, Stratospere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere.

The layer that contains 90 percent of the total mass of the atmosphere?

There are a few layers to the atmosphere however the Troposphere is the largest part of the atmosphere containing 75% of its mass. However the Troposphere contains 99% of the water vapour on the planet as well as Earth's aerosols. It is also where all weather phenomenon will occur.


Earth can be divided into how many physical layers?

The http://wiki.answers.com/earth/Atmosphere/overview.htmlis divided into five layers. It is thickest near the surface and thins out with height until it eventually merges with space.1) The http://wiki.answers.com/earth/Atmosphere/troposphere.htmlis the first layer above the surface and contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. http://wiki.answers.com/earth/Atmosphere/weather.htmloccurs in this layer.2) Many jet aircrafts fly in the http://wiki.answers.com/earth/Atmosphere/stratosphere.htmlbecause it is very stable. Also, the ozone layer absorbs harmful rays from the Sun.3) Meteors or rock fragments burn up in the http://wiki.answers.com/earth/Atmosphere/mesosphere.html.4) The http://wiki.answers.com/earth/Atmosphere/thermosphere.htmlis a layer with auroras. It is also where the space shuttle orbits.5) The atmosphere merges into space in the extremely thin http://wiki.answers.com/earth/Atmosphere/exosphere.html. This is the upper limit of our atmosphere.


Is there an acronym for the layers of the atmosphere?

Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere. One mnemonic is : "Tropical Sugary Mangoes Taste Excellent". (see related questions)
