Detailed explanation-1: -Exosphere. This is the outermost layer of the atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere to 6, 200 miles (10, 000 km ) above the earth. In this layer, atoms and molecules escape into space and satellites orbit the earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since the exosphere gradually fades into outer space, there is no clear upper boundary of this layer.
Detailed explanation-3: -The exosphere is the outermost layer of our atmosphere. “Exo” means outside and is the same prefix used to describe insects like grasshoppers that have a hard shell or “exoskeleton” on the outside of their body. The exosphere is the very edge of our atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-4: -From lowest to highest, the major layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. Troposphere.
Detailed explanation-5: -The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth’s atmosphere (i.e. the upper limit of the atmosphere).
Detailed explanation-6: -The uppermost layer of the earth is called the crust. It is about 35 km on the continental masses and 5 km on the ocean floors.
