The lower part of the thermosphere that begins 400 kilometers above the surface of the earth is called the ionosphere. The highest part of the thermosphere is called the exosphere.

What is the atmosphere closest to the earth called?

The first layer above the surface is the Troposphere. This is followed by the Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere


What are the five layers of the earth?

The five layers are called Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere.


Describe the 2 layers of the thermosphere?

The thermosphere consists of two layers: the lower layer, called the mesosphere, extends from about 50-85 kilometers above the Earth's surface. The upper layer, known as the thermosphere, starts around 85 kilometers and extends to about 600 kilometers. These layers experience extreme temperatures, are where the auroras occur, and are important for satellite communication and navigation.


Ozone is concentrated in the layer of the atmosphere called the?

Ozone is concentrated in the layer of the atmosphere called the stratosphere. This layer is found between around 10 to 50 kilometers (6 to 31 miles) above Earth's surface. Ozone in the stratosphere plays a key role in absorbing and filtering out harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.


The Earths atmosphere is composed of how many different layers?

The Earth's atmosphere is composed in FIVE different layers. The first one is the Troposphere, which is the closest to the Earth's surface. The second one is the stratosphere. The third atmosphere is called the mesosphere, which contains the coldest air temperature. The forth is thermosphere, which contains the ionosphere that are made up of electrically charged particles (note that the ionosphere is not one of the atmosphere). The last part of the atmosphere is the exosphere, which is the region of the space travel. It is also the furthest atmospheric layer from the Earth.

The strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core is called the lower mantle. The layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere is called the mesosphere.

The layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere and in which temperature decreases as altitude increases?

The layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere is called the mesosphere. In this layer, temperature decreases as altitude increases due to a decrease in the concentration of ozone molecules that absorb and scatter the sun's rays. The mesosphere is also the region where most meteoroids burn up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere.

Is the invisible layer of air that envelopes Earth called the atmosphere?

yes....it consists of five layers. the trophosphere the stratosphere the mesoshere the thermosphere and the exosphere


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.


Which layer is the outermost layer in atmosphere?

The outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere is called the exosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere to space and contains few particles, making it very thin.


What is the boundary between the mesosphere and thermosphere called?

The boundary between the mesosphere and thermosphere is called the mesopause. This region marks the transition from the middle atmospheric layer (mesosphere) to the outermost layer (thermosphere) of Earth's atmosphere.


What is the layer of the air called.?

It goes troposhere then stratosphere then mesoshere then thermosphere


The atmosphere layers are based on what?

The atmosphere is comprised of layers based on temperature. These layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. A further region at about 500 km above the Earth's surface is called the exosphere.
