What is the outer layer of the thermospherer?

The outer layer of the thermosphere is called the exosphere. It is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere and extends beyond the thermosphere. The exosphere is where gas particles are extremely sparse and can travel long distances without colliding with each other.


Is the exosphere the thickest layer of the atmosphere?

no!!!! thinnest! This question is ambiguous. If by thickest you mean densest, then the answer is no, the exosphere is very tenuous. If you mean having the greatest distance from bottom to top, the answer is yes.


What does Troposphere mean?

The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending from the Earth's surface up to about 10-15 kilometers in altitude. It is where most weather phenomena occur and contains approximately 75% of the atmosphere's mass.


What does prefix thermo in thermosphere mean?

The prefix "thermo" in thermosphere refers to heat or temperature. The thermosphere is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere where temperatures increase with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation.


Three main parts of the atmosphere are the?

if you mean chemically its Oxygen 29%ish, Nitrogen 70%ish, 1% argon and other trace elements Or the Thermosphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere, in that order from the earth's surface, but there are more than 3


What does the word thermosphere mean in science?

noun the region of the upper atmosphere in which temperature increases continuously with altitude, encompassing essentially all of the atmosphere above the mesosphere.


What does the pefix meso in the word mesosphere mean?

What is the name of the middle layer of the sun's atmosphere?

The middle layer of the sun's atmosphere is called the chromosphere. This region is located above the photosphere and below the corona, and it is characterized by its reddish color during solar eclipses.


What is the outermost layer of sun known as?

The outermost layer of the Sun, if you mean the surface, is called the photosphere. If you mean in the atmosphere, it is called the chromosphere which can only be observed on the day of a solar eclipse. Beyond that there is a very tenuous layer called the corona. I think that's the "outermost layer".


What is the first layer of atmosphere within the five miles above the earth surface?

The first layer of the atmosphere within the first five miles above the Earth's surface is the troposphere. This layer is where most weather phenomena occur, and temperature usually decreases with altitude in this layer.
