Thermosphere
*Ionosphere (usually included in the thermosphere)
*Exosphere (may be included as a fifth layer beyond the basic four)

∙ 9y agoThe Earth's atmosphere is composed of four main areas:
- The Troposphere - this is the lowest layer, right above the Earth's surface, and it is where all our weather occurs. The thickness of this layer varies between about 9 km (or 30,000 ft) at the poles and 17 km (or 56,000 ft) at the equator. The temperature of the troposphere decreases as you go higher up.
- The Stratosphere -this is the second layer, which extends from about 12 km (or 7.5 miles) to about 51 km (32 miles) above the surface of the Earth. Unlike the troposphere, temperature actually increases with height due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer.
- The Mesosphere - this is the third layer, which extends from about 50 km (or 31 miles) to around 85 km (or 53 miles) above the surface of the Earth. The mesosphere is where meteors will burn up as they enter the atmosphere. The temperature of this layer decreases with height.
- The Thermosphere-this is the highest layer, and the temperature here actually increases with height, due to the low air density. The thermosphere begins at about 85 km (or 53 miles) above the Earth, and extends outwards to a distance between 500 and 1,000 km (or 311 to 621 miles). The International Space Station (ISS) maintains it's orbit within this layer (ranging between about 320 and 380 km), as do many artificial satellites. The thermosphere is also where aurora borealis and aurora australis mainly occur here as well.

List the layers of the atmosphere in order moving up from earths surface?
water hail snow
What is the atmospheric layers in order from farthest away from the earths surface to the closest to the earths surface?
exosphere,thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere
What are the different layers of earth atmosphere?
The four layers that constitute the earths atmosphere in order from space to the earths surface are as follows: Inosphere (aka. Aurora) @ 350km, Mesosphere @ 90-350km, Stratosphere @ 50-90km, and Troposhere @18-50km. It's composition is 79% Nitrogen, 20% Oxygen, and 1% other gases.
The layers of the earths atmosphere from top to bottom are the?
In descending order: exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere.
What are the layers that the atmosphere is made up of?
In order from closest to farthest from Earth's surface: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere

In descending order: exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere.
What are the four most common layers of the atmosphere?
There are four major spheres of the Earth, which are lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. The atmosphere is divided into five layers, which are (in order from closest to surface to furthest from surface) troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere.
What is the order starting from the surface of earths layers?
lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core

What is the order of the earths layers from the center to the surface?
crust, lithosphere,asthenosphere,lowermantle, outer core, inner core
What is the correct order starting from the surface of the earths layers?
lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core
What is the order of earths layers from less dense to most dense?
The outer core, inner core, mantle, crust, water, atmosphere. This is the order from densest to least dense.
What are the layers that the atmosphere is made up of?
