What is the thermosphere?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The air is very thin. Still, there is enough air to make air friction when meteoroids pass through. As you rise in the Thermosphere, the air gets very hot. The temperature could reach to 700 degrees Celsius. The atmosphere does not end abruptly at the Thermosphere. It gradually thins out. Beyond the atmosphere is a vacuum. A vacuum is space with nothing in it, not even air.

Answer 3

The definition of thermosphere is the atmosphere layer between the mesophere and the exosphere
The thermoshpere is the biggest of all the layers of the Earth's atmospheredirecly above the mesosphere and directly below the exoshpere.

Answer 4

The thermosphere is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere located above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. It is characterized by high temperatures and low densities of gas molecules, and is the layer where the International Space Station orbits. The thermosphere is where phenomena like auroras occur due to interactions with solar radiation.

Answer 5

it's mostly made up of nitrogen and oxygen and is harder to breath in.
The upper most atmospheric layer.

Answer 6

The thermosphere's air pressure is low because its altitude is very high and thermosphere is very hot because it's really close to the sun.

Answer 7

What is themosphere. I forgot and I have homework on this so could you please answer my question

Answer 8

it protects us from UV rays

Answer 9

to make kids like u wonder
