And in reallity, the air extends out much farther.The atmosphere's lowest layer,the troposphere we live in,ends 40000 feet up, the cruising altitude of the airliners2. Above are another 4 distinctive3 layers.They are seperated by the temperature,it's jus colder and colder and colder, that warms to nights host zero.And you start to get colder ,en,so whenever the temperature changes directions,you know you have made into anoter layer.First comes the stratosphere layer,a stable layer without strong winds.Then temperature in the messosphere plunges4 into minus 150 degrees Fahrenheit5. Above that is the thermosphere, where the sollar readiation can push the thermometer back up to 4500 degrees.And finally,there is exosphere,an endless zone where the air molecues slowly thin out into the pure vicuum of space.The exosphere is really high, they actually detected the particles of the earth atmosphere on the far side of  the moon.
