Solar balance — key process?
Balance between incoming solar and outgoing infrared radiation.
Mesosphere — temperature trend?
Temperatures decrease with altitude.
Thermosphere — characteristic?
High temperatures due to solar radiation.
Exosphere — features?
Sparse particles, merges with space.
Major gases — example?
Nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%).
Ozone layer — location?
Within the stratosphere.
