The mesosphere is an important layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. It lies between the stratosphere and thermosphere, and its altitude ranges from 50 to 85 kilometers above sea level. The mesosphere plays a vital role in controlling weather patterns on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet radiation from the sun and providing insulation against extreme temperatures at higher altitudes. In addition, it helps regulate air pressure levels across different parts of our planet’s surface by trapping heat close to the ground during winter months while allowing cooler air to flow down during summer months.
The Mesopause marks the top boundary of this atmospheric layer; temperatures drop drastically here due to lack of solar energy absorption, ranging anywhere between -85°Celsius (-121°Fahrenheit) near its base up until -90°Celsius (-130 °Fahrenheit) at its peak height – making it one of coldest places on earth! This extremely low temperature has led scientists believe that certain molecules like nitric oxide (NO), which can only exist in very cold environments such as this one may be present here too; further research into these gases could potentially provide us with valuable insights about climate change over time or even help us better understand other planets within our Solar System!
Finally, because most meteoroids burn up before reaching lower layers like ours – they are mostly observed burning brightly when passing through mesospheric layers instead; hence why we refer them as ‘shooting stars’ or ‘falling stars’ today! While their exact composition remains unknown for now – some researchers have speculated that they could be made out iron-nickel alloy particles left behind after collisions with asteroids & comets orbiting around outer space…making them truly fascinating objects worth exploring further if given opportunity someday soon perhaps?
