The mesosphere lies between the thermosphere and the stratosphere.
Above the troposphere and below the mesosphere, we have the stratosphere.
The thermosphere lies between the exosphere and the mesosphere.
This layer gets its name from the weather that is constantly changing and mixing up the gases in this part of our atmosphere.
Earth is a great planet to live on because it has a wonderful atmosphere around it.
When your phone tells you where you are, it may actually be listening to signals from satellites high up in space.
The exosphere is the outermost layer of our atmosphere.
