Commercial airliners on long flights usually try to take advantage of the "Jet Stream". These narrow bands of winds aloft can sometimes reach speeds of 200-250 mph! They are usually found in the 35k to 40k ft layer. The pilot can use the wind as a pusher. The average jet flies at about 450 mph. Add another 250 mph tail wind and mama I'm home!

What sort of temperatures would she experience in the mesosphere?

Temperatures in the mesosphere can vary, but they generally decrease with increasing altitude, ranging from about -90°C to -120°C (-130°F to -184°F). These temperatures can fluctuate depending on solar activity and other atmospheric conditions.

Distance of ozone layer from earth?

The Ozone Layer resides somewhere between 10 km and 50 km above the Earth, with a mean somewhere around 30 km. The Earth's mean radius is 6,371 km. If we add the additional 30 km to the radius of the Earth, and then use the standard formula for finding circumference--twice the radius multiplied by pi--we get 40,219 km (24,990 miles), which should be accurate within a few kilometers.


What is the modern era?

The beginning of the early modern is not completely clear. However. It is generally accepted that it began somewhere in the late 15th or early 16th century.


Which layer of the earths atmosphere is the ozone layer located?

It is in the stratosphere, located 8 to 50km above sea level. The ozone layer surrounds the earth, meaning that it's wrapped around earth. The altitude varies with latitude as well, placing the stratosphere and the ozone layer closer to the Earth's surface over the poles.The highest concentration is in the lower stratosphere, also called the tropopause, and the ozone here is called the ozone layer. Ozone is also found in the lower atmosphere, also called the troposphere, and the ozone here is one component of smog.Ozone concentrations vary from near zero at extreme elevations (high in the exosphere), to a maximum (~9 ppm) at the bottom of the stratosphere, to zero again near Earth's surface (the troposphere ends here). So some ozone is found in every layer of the atmopshere (usually less than 1 ppm, except for the stratosphere).When it is winter at one of the poles, there is no UV-C to make ozone, and since ozone decays with time, an "ozone hole" forms. The size of the hole depends on how many contaminants are present to accelerate the decay of ozone.As with the whole atmosphere, all layers (except the upper exosphere) have about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and traces of other gases.

What are the regions of the atmosphere?

Troposphere - Starts at the ground. Ends somewhere between 7 to 14 kilometers. Stratosphere - Starts at 7 to 14 kilometers and ends at 50 km. Mesosphere - Starts at 50 km and ends at 80 or 85 km. Thermosphere- Starts at 80 or 85 kilometers and ends at 640 km or higher. Exosphere- Starts at 690 km and ends at 10,000 km. (Considered the atmospheric region where space and earth meet.)
