Mesosphere
The region of the 's atmosphere from roughly 50-80 km altitude.

Mesosphere
The mesosphere is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is directly above the stratosphere and directly below the thermosphere. The mesosphere is located from about 50 km to 80-90 km altitude above the Earth's surface....

MESOSPHERE
The mesosphere is the atmospheric layer between the stratosphere and the ionosphere. The mesosphere is characterized by temperatures that quickly decrease as height increases.

Beyond that is the mesosphere, out to about 85 km, the mesopause, and temperatures drop rapidly down to about −110°C. Here be noctilucent clouds.

The anomalous propagation of sound refers to the downward refraction of an oblique sound wave from an explosion, the refraction occurring in the region of increasing temperature with height in the lower mesosphere.

mesopause (NASA Thesaurus / NASA SP-7, 1965) The base of the inversion at the top of the mesosphere, usually found at 80 to 85 kilometers. See atmospheric shell.

Mesopause The temperature minimum at the boundary between the thermosphere and the mesosphere. It is the coldest place on Earth, with a temperature of âˆ'100 °C (âˆ'148.0 °F; 173.1 K). Mesosphere From the Greek word "μέσος" meaning middle.

Mesosphere: From the Greek word "μέσος" meaning middle. The mesosphere extends from about 50 km (160,000 ft) to the range of 80 to 85 km (265,000 - 285,000 ft), temperature decreasing with height.

The atmospheric layers are - in order of distance from sea level - the troposphere (10 km), stratosphere (45 km), mesosphere (80 km), thermosphere (200 km), and exosphere (400 km).

Noctilucent Clouds: In the mesosphere layer of Earth's atmosphere, below the thermosphere and above the stratosphere, noctilucent clouds form in the polar regions.

The transition region or mesosphere (for middle mantle), sometimes called the fertile layer, contains 11.1% of the mantle-crust mass and is the source of basaltic magmas.

The stratosphere is the atmospheric layer between the troposphere and the mesosphere. The stratosphere is characterized by a slight temperature increase with altitude and the absence of clouds.

the highest but one layer of a Gaian Type planet's atmosphere, part of the thermosphere, and located between the mesosphere and the exosphere. It typically starts at about 60-100 km and continues for several hundred kilometers.

Definition: stratosphere: The layer of the atmosphere above the troposphere and below the mesosphere where the temperature increases with height.
