3. Exosphere
   The outermost part of the Earth's atmosphere. It is an ill-defined, highly rareified zone which starts at a height of about 700km (435 miles) and extends into the vacuum of space.

4. Exosphere
   This region is considered the very outer limits of the earth's atmosphere. Its lower boundary is often called the critical level of escape, where gas atoms are so widely spaced that they rarely collide with one another and have individual orbits. It is roughly 640000 metres above the surface of the Earth.

9. Exosphere
   The exosphere (ἔξω éxō "outside, external, beyond", σφαῖρα sphaĩra "sphere") is the uppermost layer of Earth`s atmosphere. An upward traveling molecule moving through the exosphere fast enough to attain escape velocity can escape to space with a low chance of collisions; if it is moving below escape velocity it will be prevented...

11. EXOSPHERE
    This region is considered the very outer limits of the earth's atmosphere. Its lower boundary is often called the critical level of escape, where gas atoms are so widely spaced that they rarely collide with one another and have individual orbits. It is estimated to be some 400 plus miles (640 kilometers) above the surface. Related term: ionosphere

12. exosphere
    the outer part of the Earth's atmosphere located above the thermosphere, in which the collision frequency is sufficiently low that the probability that certain particles will escape towards free space is relatively high when the vertical velocity of these particles is sufficiently high

13. exosphere
    The extremely tenuous, outermost layer of Earth`s atmosphere. The exosphere lies above the ionosphere and extends from the so-called exobase, at a height of about 500 km, to the edge of interplanetary space. At or below the exobase, the atmosphere is sufficiently dense that collisions dominate the...

15. exosphere
    Uppermost layer of the atmosphere. It is an ill-defined zone above the thermosphere, beginning at about 700 km/435 mi and fading off into the vacuum of space. The gases are extremely thin, with hydrogen as the main constituent
