LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
STRATOPAUSE
This PAUSE is at 50 km high.
TROPOSPHERE
Clouds grow in this layer
TROPOSPHERE, STRATOSPHERE, MESOSPHERE, THERMOSPHERE AND EXOSPHERE.
Give us the name of the 5 layers of the atmosphere in the correct order, starting with the closest to us.
MESOSPHERE It starts at 50 km high and it reaches 100 km high.
This layer is 50 km thick.
TROPOSPHERE
Weather occurs in this layer.
TROPOPAUSE
This boundary is at 10 km high.
EXOSPHERE
At the "night" side of the Earth, the temperatures in this layer can reach close to absolute zero
TROPOSPHERE
At the top of this layer, temperature is about -55 Celsius degrees.
STRATOSPHERE
It contains the OZONE layer
THERMOSPHERE
It is a layer with AURORAS.
MESOSPHERE. The temperature is -90 Celsius degrees.
At the top of this layer, we find the coldest temperature on Earth.
THERMOSPHERE
Even though the temperature is so high at the top, one would not feel warm in the thermosphere, because it is so near vacuum that there is not enough contact with the few atoms of gas to transfer much heat. A normal thermometer would read significantly below 0 °C.
TROPOSPHERE
In this layer, temperature decreases about 7 Celsius degrees per km.
TROPOSPHERE
It is a narrow band, it is unstable and chaotic, but life depends on it.
EXOSPHERE
It is the outermost layer of the Earth
STRATOSPHERE
Its lower limit is called TROPOPAUSE
STRATOSPHERE
Its upper boundary is called STRATOPAUSE
MESOSPHERE
Its upper limit is called MESOPAUSE.
TROPOPAUSE (10 km), STRATOPAUSE (50 km), MESOPAUSE (100 km), THERMOPAUSE (500 - 1000 Km high)
Tell us the name AND altitude of the four boundaries or PAUSES, in order.
THERMOSPHERE
Temperatures increase along this layer when you win altitude, from -90 Celsius degrees to 2000 Celsius degrees.
THERMOSPHERE (the ISS orbits at about 350 km)
The International Space Station (ISS) orbits in this layer
STRATOSPHERE
Jet aircrafts fly at the lower part of this layer.
MESOSPHERE
Meteors burn up in this layer
