  2. Exosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exosphere

    The exosphere is a thin, atmosphere-like volume surrounding a planet or natural satellite where molecules are gravitationally bound to that body, but where the density is so low that the molecules are essentially collision-less. [1]

  3. Upper atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_atmosphere

    The exosphere, which on Earth lies between the altitudes of about 700 kilometres (435 mi) and 10,000 kilometres (6,200 mi) The ionosphere, an ionized portion of the upper atmosphere which includes the upper mesosphere, thermosphere, and lower exosphere and on Earth lies between the altitudes of 48 and 965 kilometres (30 and 600 mi)

  4. Thermopause - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermopause

    As a lower boundary for the exosphere this boundary is also called the exobase. [ 1 ] The exact altitude varies by the energy inputs of location, time of day, solar flux, season, etc. and can be between 500 and 1,000 kilometres (310 and 620 mi) high at a given place and time because of these.

  5. Aeronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronomy

    Terrestrial aeronomy focuses on the Earth's upper atmosphere, which extends from the stratopause to the atmosphere's boundary with outer space and is defined as consisting of the mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere and their ionized component, the ionosphere. [5]

  6. Vietnamese Wikipedia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_Wikipedia

    The Vietnamese Wikipedia initially went online in November 2002, with a front page and an article about the Internet Society.The project received little attention and did not begin to receive significant contributions until it was "restarted" in October 2003 [3] and the newer, Unicode-capable MediaWiki software was installed soon after.

  7. Ionosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosphere

    The ionosphere (/ aɪ ˈ ɒ n ə ˌ s f ɪər /) [1] [2] is the ionized part of the upper atmosphere of Earth, from about 48 km (30 mi) to 965 km (600 mi) above sea level, [3] a region that includes the thermosphere and parts of the mesosphere and exosphere. The ionosphere is ionized by solar radiation.

  8. Geocorona - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocorona

    The geocorona is the luminous part of the outermost region of the Earth's atmosphere, the exosphere. It is seen primarily via far-ultraviolet light ( Lyman-alpha ) from the Sun that is scattered from neutral hydrogen . [ 1 ]

  9. Vietnamese exonyms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_exonyms

    Vienna (Viên in Vietnamese) is the only city whose name in Vietnamese is borrowed from French [citation needed]. Hong Kong and Macau names are borrowed from English by direct transliteration into Hồng Kông and Ma Cao instead of Hương Cảng and Áo Môn in Sino-Vietnamese pronunciation.
