Layer Range |
|
Troposphere |
It starts at the Earth's surface and where weather occurs. 99% of the water
vapor is in this layer. |
0 to 12 km |
|
Stratosphere |
It contains ozone layer which absorb ultraviolet light coming from the Sun, converts UV
energy into heat. |
12 to 50 km |
|
Mesosphere |
It protects earth’s surface from being hit by meteoroids. |
50 to 80 km |
|
Thermosphere |
It is a outer layer where satellites actually orbit Earth within the
thermosphere. It absorbs High energy X-rays and UV radiation from the raising
its temperature to 100s to 1000s of degrees. |
80 to 700 km |
|
Exosphere |
It is an outer layer of the Earth's atmosphere where particles can move for
hundreds of kilometers in a trajectory. It has no air to breathe and it’s very
cold, has gases like hydrogen and helium, but they are very spread out. |
700 to 10,000 km |
