Definition of thermosphere in English English dictionary: layer of the Earth's atmosphere directly above the mesosphere and directly below the exosphere; The highest atmospheric zone; a region of hot, dilute gases above the mesosphere extending out to about 1,600 km (1,000 mi) from the earth's surface; The extreme outer edge of the earth's atmosphere, within which temperature increases steadily with altitude; The layer of the atmosphere lying between 100 - 400 km altitude More information here; The region of Earth's atmosphere that extends from about 85 km to 600 km; That region of the Earth's atmosphere above the mesosphere where the neutral temperature increases with height It begins at the mesopause at about 80-85 km and extends to the exosphere where the temperature regime becomes isothermal; the outermost layer of the atmosphere in physical contact with extraterrestrial space; One of two regions into which the ocean depths are sometimes divided according to temperature, the other being the psychrosphere The thermosphere is the upper regions of the ocean where the temperature is greater than 10° C This coincides with the ocean troposphere; {i} atmospheric layer in which the temperature increases as the altitude increases; layer of the Earths atmosphere directly above the mesosphere and directly below the exosphere; the atmospheric shell extending from the top of the mesosphere to outer space It is a region of more or less steadily increasing temperature with height, starting at 70 or 80 km; A thermal classification, it is the layer of the atmosphere located between the mesosphere and outer space It is a region of steadily increasing temperature with altitude, and includes all of the exosphere and most, if not all, of the ionosphere; The region in planetary atmospheres above the major temperature minimum, in the mesosphere, to outer space In the Earth's atmosphere, it starts at an altitude of about 80 kilometers and has molecular temperatures that rise into the thousands of degrees This is the domain of aurorae The molecular densities are so low that the gas is unable to cool through infrared radiative cooling to space due to the infrequency of molecular (in particular, carbon dioxide) cooling; Atmospheric layer above the mesosphere (above 85 kilometers) where air temperatures rise rapidly with height The thermosphere is the hottest layer in the atmosphere In the thermosphere, gamma, X-ray, and specific wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation are absorbed by certain gases in the atmosphere The absorbed radiation is then converted into heat energy Temperatures in this layer can get as high as 1300-1800 degrees Celsius; the atmospheric layer between the mesosphere and the exosphere; atmospheric layer extending from about 100 to 400 kilometers It is characterized by a constantly rising gas-kinetic temperature with height; Region of the atmosphere in which temperature increases with altitude Located at approximately 100 to 400 km
