The mesosphere (/ ˈ m ɛ s ə s f ɪər, ˈ m ɛ z-, ˈ m iː s ə-,-z ə-/; [1] from Ancient Greek μέσος (mésos) 'middle' and -sphere) is the third layer of the atmosphere, directly above the stratosphere and directly below the thermosphere. In the mesosphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases.
Structure of Earth. The mesosphere is labeled as Stiffer mantle in this diagram.. The lower mantle, historically also known as the mesosphere, represents approximately 56% of Earth's total volume, and is the region from 660 to 2900 km below Earth's surface; between the transition zone and the outer core.

The mesosphere is the third highest layer of Earth's atmosphere, occupying the region above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from the stratopause at an altitude of about 50 km (31 mi; 160,000 ft) to the mesopause at 80–85 km (50–53 mi; 260,000–280,000 ft) above sea level.
The mesosphere ranges from 50 km to 85 km and is the layer wherein most meteors are incinerated before reaching the surface. The thermosphere extends from an altitude of 85 km to the base of the exosphere at 690 km and contains the ionosphere, where solar radiation ionizes the atmosphere. The density of the ionosphere is greater at short ...
The mesosphere is the region of Earth's atmosphere directly above the stratosphere, and directly below the mesopause. Mesosphere may also refer to: Mesosphere (mantle), the region of the Earth's mantle just above the outer core; Mesosphere (software), a data center operating system based on Apache Mesos, and a company by the same name
The upper atmosphere, the atmosphere above the troposphere, [235] is usually divided into the stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. [215] Each layer has a different lapse rate, defining the rate of change in temperature with height.
Williams has averaged 15.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game this season for Charlotte, which selected him with the No. 15 overall pick in 2022 out of Duke.
The mesosphere, which on Earth lies between the altitudes of about 50 and 80 kilometres (31 and 50 mi), sometimes considered part of the "upper atmosphere" rather than the middle atmosphere Topics referred to by the same term
