Answer 2

The mesosphere (from the Greek words mesos = middle and sphaira = ball) is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is directly above the stratosphere and directly below the thermosphere.

The article below has some nice graphics, also.

Answer 3

he part of the earth's atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere in which temperature decreases with altitude to the atmosphere's absolute minimum

The temperature decreases with altitude in the mesosphere, which is the layer between 50 and 80 km. The temperatures in this layer reach 190-180 at an altitude of 80 km. In this region, concentrations of ozone and water vapor are negligible. Hence the temperature is lower than that of the troposphere or stratosphere. With increasing distance from Earth's surface the chemical composition of air becomes strongly dependent on altitude and the atmosphere becomes enriched with lighter gases. At very high altitudes, the gases begin to form into layers according to molecular mass (weight), because the force of gravity is greater on the heavier molecules. It is in this layer that foreign bodies (such as meteors and spacecraft) entering the atmosphere begin to warm up.

Answer 4

The mesosphere is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is directly above the stratosphere and directly below the thermosphere. It is located about 50-80/85km above Earth's surface.
