What is the Mesosphere?
The mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere. It extends from the top of the stratosphere (50 km = 31 miles) to about 80 km (50 miles) above Earth’s surface. The mesosphere is very cold because it is not heated by the Sun. This layer is sometimes called the “middle atmosphere” because it is …
What is the Thermosphere?
The thermosphere is the fourth layer of the atmosphere (if counting from the Earth). It extends from the top of the mesosphere (80 km = 50 miles) to about 700 kilometers (440 miles) above Earth’s surface, where the exosphere begins. The thermosphere is very hot because the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation heats it. This layer contains …
