Mesopause is an important layer of the Earth’s atmosphere located between the mesosphere and thermosphere. It exists at an altitude of approximately 85 kilometers above sea level, making it one of the highest layers in our atmosphere. The Mesopause is known to be a very cold region with temperatures reaching as low as -90°C due to its distance from both ground-level heating sources and solar radiation.
The Mesopause plays a vital role in regulating global climate by acting like a blanket that traps heat within our planet’s atmosphere before it can escape into outer space. This helps keep temperatures on earth stable, preventing drastic changes that could lead to extreme weather events such as droughts or floods. Additionally, this layer also serves as protection against potentially harmful cosmic rays which originate from outside our solar system but are blocked by this barrier before they reach us on Earth’s surface..
In recent years there has been increasing research into how human activities may be impacting the Mesopause through emissions released into upper atmospheric levels such ozone depletion or greenhouse gases trapping more heat than normal causing further temperature rises across all atmospheric layers including here at ground level where we live and breathe every day. As scientists work together to better understand these processes we will continue learning about how important this part of our planet’s protective shield truly is for life here on earth!
