The thermosphere is the layer of Earth's atmosphere that still contains substantial molecules of heavier gases. It occurs below the outermost layer, the exosphere, which consists mainly of a near-vacuum of hydrogen and helium.
The thermosphere extends from roughly 85 to 690 km above the surface of the Earth, and includes the orbits of most satellites and the International Space Station.
The thermosphere contains most of the region known as the ionosphere, which consists of charged particles that can reflect radio waves, especially HF (shortwave) signals.
What else can I help you with?
Which atmospheric level is farthest from the lithosphere?
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.
What is the two highest layers of the atmosphere?
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
What is the boundary between the mesosphere and thermosphere called?
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.
What is the correct order of earth's atmospheric layers from earth's surface into outer space?
the layers of the atmosphere in order are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere
Is the air in the thermosphere warmed by heat from Earth's survace?
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.
What is the other name for thermosphere?
There is no other name for the thermosphere.
Is the moon in 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.
Who discovered the thermosphere?
Christopher Holt discovered the thermosphere
What layer of the atmosphere is the ISS in?
the layer is the thermosphere THERMOSPHERE IS THE ANSWER
Which atmospheric level is farthest from the lithosphere?
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.
What are the layer of the thermosphere?
The two layers of the thermosphere are the Ionosphere and the Exosphere.
What is the altitude of thermosphere?
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.
What 2 layers is the thermosphere made of?
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.
Why is thermosphere called the thermosphere?
the thermosphere gets it's name from it's extrmely high temperature, which cn be above 1,000'c.
Does the ionosphere stretche from the mesosphere through the thermosphere?
NO the ionosphere is only in the Thermosphere
What are characteristics of the Thermosphere?
One is......... The temperature rises as you go up into the Thermosphere.
What does thermosphere have to do with tornadoes?
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.
