   What are the 6 layers of Earth's atmosphere?

   • Earth’s atmosphere has six layers: the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere, the ionosphere, and the exosphere. Earth is a great planet to live on because it has a wonderful atmosphere around it. This jacket of gases does a lot for us. It keeps us warm, it gives us oxygen to breathe, and it’s where our weather happens.

   What are the layers of the atmosphere called?

   • Moving upward from ground level, these layers are called the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The exosphere gradually fades away into the realm of interplanetary space. The layers of the atmosphere: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.

   What is the Earth's atmosphere like?

   • That is essentially what the Earth’s atmosphere is like: layers upon layers of gas surrounding the Earth, working to protect the planet. We asked Rei Ueyama, an atmospheric scientist at NASA Ames Research Center, to explain a little bit more about the function and importance of our atmosphere.

   • Troposphere. Temperature: 62°F (17°C) around the lowest point to -60°F (-51°C) near the top. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, and it is where we live.
   • Stratosphere. Temperature: -60°F (-51°C) near the tropopause to 5°F (-15°C) near the next layer. Lies just above the troposphere, extending up to 31 miles (50 km) high.
   • Mesosphere. Temperature: Ranges from 5°F (-15°C) to -148°F (-100°C) as one ascends up the layer. The mesosphere extends from just above the stratosphere to 53-62 miles (85-100 km) high.
   • Thermosphere. Temperature: The temperatures in this layer depend on solar activity and can get as hot as 930°F (500°C) to 3,600°F (2,000°C) near the upper thermosphere.
