Q # 2: Name the five layers of the earth's atmosphere.

They are:
Ionosphere (40 million to 100 million miles above sea level)
Thermosphere (60 million to 100 million miles above sea level)
Mesosphere (35 million miles to 60 million miles above sea level)
Stratosphere (20 million miles to 35 million miles above sea le.)
Troposhere (Sea Level to 20 million miles above sea level- also where jets fly, and weather takes place.)

Do I get to ask the next question?

TexasMark stopping by! Just thought I would pass on some scientific facts as well! We are currently doing a lot of science work at school. I hope you enjoy them!

• The Sun looks 1600 times fainter from Pluto than it does from the Earth.

  
  

• Comets' tails point away from the Sun at all times. Thus, when a comet is moving away from the Sun, its tail is actually leading. Comet tails are caused by dust and gas being lost from the comet and then pushed away from the Sun by the solar wind (charged particles moving out from the Sun) and by radiation pressure from the Sun.

  
  

• The Sun is a fairly average star in terms of mass, temperature, and size.

  
  

• The Earth orbits the Sun at an average velocity of approximately 30 kilometers per second (18 miles per second). Planets closer to the Sun travel faster in their orbits and planets further away travel slower.

  
  

• Sunspots appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding areas on the Sun, and therefore radiate less light and appear "dark" relative to the areas around them. Sunspot temperatures average about 3800 degrees versus 5800 degrees Celsius for the average surface of the Sun.

  
  

• Due to frequent collisions with subatomic particles, it takes a typical gamma ray photon about one million years to travel from the core of the Sun to its surface, even though gamma rays travel at the speed of light (the gamma ray region of light has shorter wavelengths than X-rays). By the time the photon that started out as a gamma ray photon escapes the solar furnace, it has lost so much energy through collisions that it emerges from the Sun's surface as a photon of ordinary, visible light.

I've spent a lot of time 'where jets fly' and I assure you my altimeter doesn't read in the millions.
