Its a layer of our atmosphere, above the stratosphere, but beneath the thermosphere. It starts at around an altitude of 50-60km and ends at around an altitude of around 100-120km. The temperature tends to drop with increased height through the mesosphere. At the 100-120km point is the coldest place on earth, with temperatures around -160'C. Temperatures then start to rise again with height through the thermosphere.

What atmosphere layer is the space station in?
The space station layer is in the mesosphere.
Why is mesosphere important?
The mesosphere is important because metioroids burn up in this portion of the atmosphere stoping them from going to the earth.
What layer of earth atmosphere blocks meteors from hitting the earth?
All layers of the atmosphere. Depending on the angle at which a meteoroid enters the earth's atmosphere, it follows a trajectory towards the earth's surface. While doing so, aerodynamic friction heats it up and it becomes a meteor. It may fragment and burn up entirely but otherwise, it will remain a meteor all the way down to the earth's surface and, when it strikes, it will become a meteorite.
Which layer of the Earth is heat escaping at Earth's surface?
lithosphere
Coolest layer of the Earth?
The crust is by far the coolest.
What physical layer of the earth is below the mesosphere?
The outer core lies under the mesosphere.
What layer is under the thermosphere?
this layer is above the mesosphere and under the exosphere
Which is the coldest layer of the atmosphere of the earth?
The Mesosphere.
What is the layer that protects the earth from meteoroids?
The mesosphere.
Which layer protects earth from asteroids?
The mesosphere.
What is the third layer of the earth's atmosphere?
The third layer of Earth's atmosphere is called the Mesosphere.
The coldest layer of Earth s atmosphere is the?
The mesosphere is the coldest layer of the earth's atmosphere.
Which layer of the earth contains the lower mantle?
The mesosphere is the sphere that contains the lower mantle. It is located above the outer core and under the lithosphere and asthenosphere.
Does the mesosphere protect earth from meteoroids?
The atmosphere protects earth from meteoroids. The mesosphere is just one layer in the atmosphere.
What is the coldest layer of the atmosphere?
The mesosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that exists between the stratosphere and the thermosphere. It contains the coldest parts of the Earth's atmosphere, reaching temperature depths of -90°C.
What color is a mesosphere in the layer of the earth?
purple bro
What is the third layer of the earth's interior?
The Mantle, (Mesosphere).
