The crust is?æneither troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere?æ nor exosphere; these are layers of the atmosphere. The crust and the upper part of the mantle makes?æup the lithosphere.

In descending order of abundance what are the layers of earth's atmosphere?
In ascending order of altitude, these are the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere, and the exosphere.
Compare and contrast the layers sun with of earth?
The earth's geological layers are (from center to outside)the core-which is mostly nickel and iron-, the mantle,-which is melted rock called magma-, and the crust, -which is composed of rocks, soil etc. The earth's atmospheric layers are (from surface out) the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. The sun's geological layers are (form center to outside) the inner core, the radiative zone, the convection zone, and the photosphere, which is the surface of the sun. The one atmospheric layer is the chromosphere, which contains the corona.
Outermost layer of the gaseous component of the earth?
Exosphere
Who discovered the mesosphere the atmospheric layer?
The Layers of the Atmosphere We live at the bottom of an ocean of air - several oceans, in fact, as the atmosphere can be divided into layers distinguished by temperature. Starting at the surface of the earth's crust, the layer which most apparently affects us is called the troposphere. It extends roughly 5 miles above the poles and 10 miles above the equator, and contains about 75% of the total mass of the atmosphere. Due to its closeness to the earth's surface, nearly all water vapor and solid particles (from forest fires, volcanoes and the burning of fossil fuel, for example) are found in this sphere. All of earth's plant and animal life exist within the troposphere or the waters beneath it. Climate and weather are conditions within the troposphere. It is also the layer where most of the heat exchange between the earth and the atmosphere takes place, and where heat is distributed through the overturning of air (tropo means "to turn"). Temperature in the troposphere decreases with height to -76 degrees Fahrenheit. The stratosphere extends to about 30 miles above earth, and can itself be subdivided (strato means "layers") In the lower levels of the stratosphere the temperature remains the same, but in the upper levels the temperature actually increases to roughly the same as that at sea level. This is due to the ozone layer, where a high concentration of ozone, a molecular variation of oxygen, absorbs ultraviolet rays from the sun. Because of this temperature distribution the over-turning of air is much less than within the troposphere below, and the stratosphere becomes a kind of giant lid. Debris from violent volcanic eruptions, like Mt. St. Helens in 1980, sometimes enter and remain suspended in the stratosphere for years before settling back to the earth's surface. The troposphere and stratosphere combined contain 99% of the total mass of the atmosphere. In the mesosphere, which extends to about 50 miles, temperature drops again to as low as -173 degrees F. Meteors, small pieces of matter drawn to the atmosphere by earth's gravity, become visible to the naked eye as they enter the mesosphere and are heated through friction caused by collisions with air molecules. These "falling stars" usually disintegrate before they reach the earth's surface. Spectacular meteor showers can be observed at certain times of the year when the earth, in its orbit, passes through a swarm of particles generated from the breakup of a comet. The troposphere, stratosphere and mesosphere make up what is called the lower atmosphere.
What layer in the atmosphere has the lowest temperature?
The Mesosphere has the lowest temperature of the layers of Earth's atmosphere because Temperature decreases with height in the mesosphere. The mesopause, the temperature minimum that marks the top of the mesosphere, is the coldest place on Earth and has an average temperature around −100 °C (−148.0 °F; 173.1 K)
What are the four layers of the atmosphere from lowest to highest?
Well let me start with this, there are 5 layers on earths atmosphere, the Troposhere, Strotosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. The main layer is the Troposphere because that is were our weather mainly happens.
What are the four layers of the atmosphere closest to earth?
troposhpere stratosphere mesosphere ionosphere thermosphere exosphere
What are all the layers of the earth and the atmosphere in order from the core to space?
The layers of the Earth are the inner core, the outer core, the mantle, the crust, and the atmosphere. The layers of the atmosphere are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, ionosphere, and exosphere.
In descending order of abundance what are the layers of earth's atmosphere?
In ascending order of altitude, these are the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere, and the exosphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere has gravity?
The atmosphere is NOT again I repeat NOT a layer. The layers are the exosphere, the thermosphere, the ionosphere, the mesosphere, the stratosphere, the ozonesphere, and the troposphere.
How are Earth's layers classified?
Based on temperature differences.
What are the four layers that make up Earth's atmosphere?
Toposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere and Thermosphere
The solid outermost layer of earth?
The exosphere.
In which layer of the earth's atmosphere is most water vapor located?
The Troposphere
What is a thin layer of air that surronds the earth?
The very thin layer between the earths crust and the stratosphere is commonly refered to as the troposphere.
What is the list of the earth's layers from outermost to innermost?
thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere
