The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth&#8217;s atmosphere. It is very thin and extends from the top of the thermosphere to about 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles) above Earth&#8217;s surface. The exosphere is so thin that there are very few molecules per cubic centimeter. The molecules in the exosphere are constantly escaping Earth&#8217;s gravity and being lost into space.<\/p>\n<p>The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth&#8217;s atmosphere.

The ozone layer is a region of Earth&#8217;s stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun&#8217;s ultraviolet radiation.
