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: -The exosphere is the very edge of our atmosphere. This layer separates the rest of the atmosphere from outer space. It’s about 6, 200 miles (10, 000 kilometers) thick. That’s almost as wide as Earth itself.
Detailed explanation-3: -On Earth, this region is called the thermosphere because temperatures as high as 1000 K are reached in the outermost layer, or exosphere.
Detailed explanation-4: -Option A-Exosphere is the fifth layer of atmosphere. It is the layer that fades into space. It is an extremely thin layer and has gases like hydrogen and helium. The exosphere starts at about 500km above earth’s surface and goes upto 10000km.
