Beside this, what is the altitude of the thermosphere?
The thermosphere (or the upper atmosphere) is the height region above 85 km, while the region between the tropopause and the mesopause is the middle atmosphere (stratosphere and mesosphere) where absorption of solar UV radiation generates the temperature maximum near 45 km altitude and causes the ozone layer.
Beside this, what is found in the mesosphere?
The mesosphere is the coldest atmospheric layer surrounding the earth. It becomes cold enough to freeze water vapour in its atmosphere into ice clouds. These ice clouds are blue-white and are called noctilucent clouds or polar mesospheric clouds. These clouds are more visible at sunset from the earth's poles.
Mesosphere characteristics The main characteristics of the mesosphere are its strong winds that go from east to west, the different atmospheric tides, the waves of atmospheric gravity that are inside, generally known as gravity waves, and finally its planetary waves.
