    exosphere: number

    Outer edge of the exosphere. Earth ≈ 10 000 km.

    karman: number

    mesosphere: number

    Top of the mesosphere (mesopause), where meteors burn up. Earth ≈ 85 km.

    stratosphere: number

    Top of the stratosphere (stratopause), with the ozone layer. Earth ≈ 50 km.

    thermosphere: number

    Top of the thermosphere / ionosphere (aurora and airglow live in its lower part). Earth ≈ 600 km.

    troposphere: number

    Top of the troposphere (tropopause): weather and clouds live below. Earth ≈ 12 km.
