unlike the troposphere.

 Mesosphere: The mesosphere extends from about 50

kilometers to about 85 kilometers above the Earth's
surface. This is the layer where most meteors burn up
upon entering the Earth's atmosphere. The temperature
decreases with altitude in this layer.

 Thermosphere: The thermosphere extends from about

85 kilometers to about 600 kilometers above the Earth's
surface. This layer is characterized by high
temperatures, which can reach up to 2,500 degrees

 Celsius, due to the absorption of intense solar radiation.
However, despite the high temperatures, this layer
would still feel cold to us because of the low air
pressure.

 Exosphere: The exosphere is the outermost layer of the

Earth's atmosphere, extending from about 600
kilometers to about 10,000 kilometers above the Earth's
surface. This layer is mainly composed of light gases
such as hydrogen and helium. The exosphere merges
into outer space and is where satellites orbit the Earth.

Discuss the importance of each layer in protecting the Earth

and supporting life.

layer is crucial for protecting life on Earth.
 Space Exploration: Understanding the properties of the
mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere is crucial
for the successful launch and return of spacecraft. The
mesosphere is where most meteors burn up upon
entering the Earth's atmosphere, while the
thermosphere is where the International Space
Station orbits. The exosphere is the gateway to outer
space.
 Telecommunications: Satellites, which facilitate global
communications and GPS systems, orbit in the
exosphere. Understanding this layer helps in the
successful deployment and operation of satellites.
 Astronomy: The thermosphere is where the Northern
and Southern Lights (auroras) occur due to the
interaction of solar particles with gases in this layer.
This understanding aids astronomers and all those
interested in these phenomena.
