The atmosphere is divided into five layers. It is thickest near the surface and thins out with height until it eventually merges with space. The layers from lowest to highest :
- The Troposphere (up to 10 km) It's the atmosphere that surrounds us. On top of that comes...
- The Stratosphere (10-50 km) Very little oxygen or water vapor. Aircraft fly in the lower stratosphere. This is also where the ozone layer exists. On top of that comes...
- The Mesosphere (50-80 km) This is where most meteors burn up, because the density is higher than the outer layers. On top of that comes...
- The Thermosphere (80-650 km) Practically a vacuum. Includes the ionosphere (auroras) as well as space station orbits. On top of that comes...
- The Exosphere (500-2000 km) The farthest any of Earth's atmosphere exists.
Based on charged particles and not necessarily gas molecules, some atmospheric models combine the Exosphere into the Thermosphere, making the outermost layer the Magnetosphere, a vast region where atmospheric ions interact with the solar wind in space.

ReneThe troposphere is the the layer of th atmostphere that lies next to earth's surface. The layer above the troposphere.The mesosphere is the middle layer of the atmosphere.The uppermost atmospheric layer is called the theremosphere.
Hi, the layers of the atmosphere is Troposhere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Ionsphere, and Exosphere. (These are all in sequence from the Earth's sufrace to the end of the Atmosphere).
The 5 layers of Earth's atmosphere are, from lowest to highest: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and the exosphere.
we live in the troposphere, above us is the stratosphere, then the mesosphere and the top layer is the thermosphere

Which is the correct answer for this questionThe law of ______states that new rock layers are always deposited on top of existing rock layers.?
New rock layers are always deposited on top of existing rock layers. Therefore, deeper layers must be older than layers closer to the surface. This is the law of superposition.
Different layers of the earth?
The compositional layers of the earth are the crust, mantle and core. The physical layers are the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer and inner core.
What are the limitations of scientist model about the earth layers?
Well it is much smaller than the actual earth. The crust is a little tiny tiny sliver compared to the other layers. It doesn't get to show the temperature or state of matter on a model (at least most).
Which of these scientists would be interested in the earth layers?
They want to look into further details about any natural disaster that might happen that can damage the earth or OR they just want to discover more about the Earth's layers
Why are layers warmer than one garment?
This Is Because You Trap Air Inside The Different Layers... And The Air Warms Up... As You Get More Layers Theres More Warm Air... This Is Because Air Is A Poor Conductor Of Heat And The Air Therefore Carries Your Body Heat... x
