Which atmospheric layer is where space shuttles orbit?
The atmosphere is divided in to five layers. These are Troposhere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere.

What are the 2 parts the thermosphere is divided to?
The Thermosphere is divided into two layersIF your doing "NovaNET" or some other thing the answer is mesosphere.
How does the solar radiation affect the thermosphere?
The sun radiates radiation in the UV, visible, and infra-red regions of the spectrum. When this reaches earth, some is reflected off the atmosphere/ clouds back into space. However, some passes through. UV radiation ionises molecules in the thermosphere, and this is the cause of the aurora. Infra-red radiation heats the molecules by giving them more vibrational energy (their bonds vibrate more), and this energy is transferred to other molecules via collisions (kinetic) or re-emitting the IR radiation. Therefore, during the day the thermosphere heats up, which causes it to expand slightly, which is why the height of the top of the thermosphere changes. This also affects the density of the air in the thermosphere.
Is there an acronym for the layers of the atmosphere?
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere. One mnemonic is : "Tropical Sugary Mangoes Taste Excellent". (see related questions)
What absorbs X-ray waves?

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 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 are the layer of the thermosphere?
The two layers of the thermosphere are the Ionosphere and the Exosphere.
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.
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.
