What layer of atmosphere extends 50 - 85 km above earth's surface?

There are several names, depending on what properties you want to stress. The Thermosphere ranges from about 80km to 500km. Here the 'temperature' goes up to 1500°C - but the molecules have such rare collisions, that speaking of a gas is somehow wrong. This name is used if you speak about the thermal structure of the atmosphere. That region might also be called ionosphere (>50km). By that name you stress, that molecules are ionized by radiation. Also this layer is called heterosphere(>100km) (above the turbopause). Here you stress that no turbulence occurs any more and therefore the atosphere doesn't mix. regarding your category 'animal life' - there is no such life up there.


The stratosphere is the atmospheric layer above the?

The stratosphere is right above the troposphere, which is what we live in. The ozone layer exists within the stratosphere. It extends up to about 50km above the surface.

What is the range of altitude for the mesosphere?

The stratosphere stops and the mesosphere starts at about 31 miles (50km). The mesosphere stops and the thermosphere starts at 50 - 56 miles (80 - 90 km).


What are the 5 different atmospheres of earth?

The five different layers of Earth's atmosphere are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. These layers vary in temperature, composition, and altitude, with the troposphere being the lowest layer where most weather occurs and the exosphere being the outermost layer where the atmosphere gradually transitions into space.

Begins at about 500 km above earth?

Low Earth Orbit, such as the International Space Station. The Ionosphere is also in this range, though it extends both up and down. The same can be said for magnetosphere, all of which vary in altitude based on time of year and position over Earth, and the Exosphere (outer space), the base of which is can vary from 450km to 700km.

What happens to temperature as you move up through out the atmosphere?

Generally speaking, temperature decreases with altitude up to about 10km, then gradually incrases again peaking at around 50km, then falls off again until about 90km, then starts increasing again.
