What is one characteristic of each atmospheric layer?
What characteristic separates the 4 layers of the atmosphere from each other?
What are the 4 characteristics of thermosphere?
It is located above the mesosphere and is the fourth layer of the earth. Its temperature changes with solar activity. In its interior sublayer i.e. ionosphere the radio waves are reflected. The boundary between the thermosphere and the exosphere is called Thermopause.
What is the characteristic of troposphere?
What is the characteristic of stratosphere?
The stratosphere is a very calm & stable layer unlike the troposphere, which is a turbulent layer. This layer is calm and stable because of the absence of any vertical air currents. The reason for this is that the vertical air current flows from the warmer (lower ) layer to the colder (upper) layer.
What is the characteristic of mesosphere?
What is the function of exosphere?
Its functions to act as a transitional medium to a zone under the influence of gravity. It also helps the atoms to escape from the atmosphere to outer space. Unlike other atmospheric layers, it is the only layer of the atmosphere that has a definite shape.
What happens in the stratosphere?

What are the properties of the troposphere and ionosphere?
What are the characteristics of the outer core?
What is the function of exosphere?
