Question
- define exosphere
Answer
- The exosphere is a thin, atmosphere-like volume surrounding a planet or natural satellite where molecules are gravitationally bound to that body, but where the density is too low for them to behave as a gas by colliding with each other
Question
- define thermosphere
Answer
- The thermosphere is the layer in the Earth's atmosphere directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. Within this layer of the atmosphere, ultraviolet radiation causes photoionization/photodissociation of molecules, creating ions; the thermosphere thus constitutes the larger part of the ionosphere.
Question
- define mesosphere
Answer
- The mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere, directly above the stratosphere and directly below the thermosphere. In the mesosphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases
Question
- define stratosphere
Answer
- The stratosphere is the second major layer of Earth's atmosphere, just above the troposphere, and below the mesosphere
Question
- define troposphere
Answer
- The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, and is also where nearly all weather conditions take place. It contains 75% of the atmosphere's mass and 99% of the total mass of water vapour and aerosols.

- It is the first and the most important layer of atmosphere.
- It extends upto a height of 13km.
- The air we breathe exists here.
- Almost all the weather phenomena like rainfall , fog and hailstorm occur in this layer.
- It is the second layer of atmosphere above the Troposphere.
- It extends upto a height of 50km.
- This layer is almost free from clouds and phenomenon.
- This layer is ideal for flying aeroplanes.
- It contains a layer of ozone gas which protects us from the harmful sun rays.
- This is the third layer of the atmosphere lying above the stratosphere.
- It extends upto the height of 80km.
- Meteorites burn up in this layers on entering from the space.
- In the thermosphere temperature rises very rapidly with increasing height.
- ionosphere is a part of this layer.
- This layer helps in radio transmission.
- It is the upper most layer of the atmosphere.
- This layer has very thin layer.
- It gases like helium and hydrogen float into the space from here.
