Layers of Earth's Atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere is divided up into 5 major layers: Exosphere - The last layer and the thinnest. It goes all the way to 10,000 km above the Earth's surface. Thermosphere - The thermosphere is next and the air is very thin here. Temperatures can get extremely hot in the thermosphere.
3 maj 2022 · Exosphere. The exosphere is the outer layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. It extends from the thermopause or exobase (500–1000 km; 310–620 mi; 1,600,000–3,300,000 ft) to around 100,000 km (6,200 mi; 33,000,000 ft). At this point, the atmosphere merges into the solar wind.
11 gru 2019 · It surrounds our planet, keeps us warm, gives us oxygen to breathe, and it is where our weather happens. Earth’s atmosphere has six layers: the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere, the ionosphere, and the exosphere.
This diagram illustrates some of the features and phenomena found in the various layers of Earth's atmosphere. Starting from ground level, the layers include the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. The exosphere, which is above the thermosphere, is not shown in the diagram.
16 paź 2023 · Diagram showing the five primary layers of the Earth's atmosphere: exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere. The layers are to scale. From the Earth's surface to the top of the stratosphere (50km) is just under 1% of Earth's radius.
