Question
which layer of our atmosphere will a satellite and the auroras be found? thermosphere stratosphere mesosphere troposphere
The thermosphere is the layer of the atmosphere where satellites orbit and auroras (such as the Northern Lights) occur. Satellites are placed in the thermosphere because of the low air density which reduces drag. Auroras are caused by the interaction of charged particles with atoms and molecules in the thermosphere. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, the mesosphere is where meteors burn up, and the troposphere is the lowest layer where weather occurs.
