• 4th layer of the atmosphere

The exosphere is:

• 5th layer of the atmosphere

• 2nd layer of the atmosphere

• 3rd layer of the atmosphere

• 4th layer of the atmosphere

The exosphere is: (Choose all that apply!!)

• 5th layer of the atmosphere

• layer with the least amount of pressure

• layer that extends into outer space

• hottest layer

The thermosphere is: (Choose all that apply!!)

• 50 to 440 miles above the Earth's surface

• space travelers begin to experience weightlessness

• home of aurora borealis

• protects us from ultraviolet radiation

The mesosphere is: (Choose all that apply!!)

• "middle" protects the Earth from meteores

• 31-50 miles above Earth's surface

• layer of the atmosphere immediately above the stratosphere

• contains a large portion of low-Earth orbiting satellites

The stratosphere is: (Choose all that apply!!)

• the ozone layer is located here

• protects the Earth from ultraviolet radiation

The troposphere is: (Choose all that apply!!)
