Bookmark or Share- Layers of Earth's Atmosphere | Center for Science EducationEarth's atmosphere is composed of a series of layers, each with its own specific traits. Moving upward from ground level, these layers are called the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The exosphere gradually fades away into the realm of interplanetary space.
- Mesosphere - WikipediaThe mesosphere (/ ˈ m ɛ s ə s f ɪər, ˈ m ɛ z-, ˈ m iː s ə-,-z ə-/; from Ancient Greek μέσος (mésos) 'middle', and -sphere) is the third layer of the atmosphere, directly above the stratosphere and directly below the thermosphere. In the mesosphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases.
- What Is the Mesosphere? - Earth HowThe mesosphere is the coldest region of Earth’s atmosphere, close to -100°C. It’s the layer of the atmosphere where meteors burn up into small fragments of dust. The mesosphere has little impact on weather patterns, pollution transport, and water vapor availability.
- Layers of the Atmosphere - Science Notes and ProjectsThe mesosphere is the atmospheric layer between the stratosphere and thermosphere. It is bounded by the stratopause (55 km; 31 to 34 mi; 164,000 to 180,000 ft) and mesopause (80–85 km; 50–53 mi; 260,000–280,000 ft).
- Earth's Atmosphere: A Multi-layered Cake - NASA ScienceMesosphere. Located between about 50 and 80 kilometers (31 and 50 miles) above Earth’s surface, the mesosphere gets progressively colder with altitude. In fact, the top of this layer is the coldest place found within the Earth system, with an average temperature of about minus 85 degrees Celsius (minus 120 degrees Fahrenheit).
