The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the atmosphere above the height of 80 km, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Layers of the Atmosphere**: The Earth's atmosphere is divided into several layers based on altitude. The main layers are: - Troposphere - Stratosphere - Mesosphere - Thermosphere 2. **Identify the Height of Each Layer**: - **Troposphere**: Extends from 0 km to approximately 12 km. - **Stratosphere**: Extends from 12 km to about 50 km. - **Mesosphere**: Extends from 50 km to about 80 km. - **Thermosphere**: Extends from 80 km to approximately 700 km. 3. **Determine Which Layer is Above 80 km**: - Since the question asks for the atmosphere above 80 km, we need to identify the layer that starts at 80 km and goes higher. - The **Thermosphere** is the layer that begins at 80 km and extends up to around 700 km. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the information about the layers of the atmosphere, the correct answer to the question is **Thermosphere**. ### Final Answer: The atmosphere above the height of 80 km is called the **Thermosphere**. ---
