Aeronomy
Aeronomy is the scientific study of the upper atmosphere of the Earth and corresponding regions of the atmospheres of other planets.
Allotropes of oxygen
There are several known allotropes of oxygen.
See Exosphere and Allotropes of oxygen
Atmosphere of Earth
The atmosphere of Earth is composed of a layer of gas mixture that surrounds the Earth's planetary surface (both lands and oceans), known collectively as air, with variable quantities of suspended aerosols and particulates (which create weather features such as clouds and hazes), all retained by Earth's gravity. Exosphere and atmosphere of Earth are atmosphere.
See Exosphere and Atmosphere of Earth
Atmosphere of the Moon
The atmosphere of the Moon is a very sparse layer of gases surrounding the Moon.
See Exosphere and Atmosphere of the Moon
Atom
Atoms are the basic particles of the chemical elements.
Barometric formula
The barometric formula is a formula used to model how the pressure (or density) of the air changes with altitude.
See Exosphere and Barometric formula
Boltzmann constant
The Boltzmann constant is the proportionality factor that relates the average relative thermal energy of particles in a gas with the thermodynamic temperature of the gas.
See Exosphere and Boltzmann constant
Calcium
Calcium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ca and atomic number 20.
Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula.

Ceres (dwarf planet)
Ceres (minor-planet designation: 1 Ceres) is a dwarf planet in the middle main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
See Exosphere and Ceres (dwarf planet)
Degassing
Degassing, also known as degasification, is the removal of dissolved gases from liquids, especially water or aqueous solutions.
Earth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.
Europa (moon)
Europa, or Jupiter II, is the smallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, and the sixth-closest to the planet of all the 95 known moons of Jupiter.
See Exosphere and Europa (moon)
Extraterrestrial atmosphere
The study of extraterrestrial atmospheres is an active field of research, both as an aspect of astronomy and to gain insight into Earth's atmosphere.
See Exosphere and Extraterrestrial atmosphere
Extraterrestrial sky
In astronomy, an extraterrestrial sky is a view of outer space from the surface of an astronomical body other than Earth.
See Exosphere and Extraterrestrial sky
Ganymede (moon)
Ganymede, or Jupiter III, is the largest and most massive natural satellite of Jupiter and in the Solar System.
See Exosphere and Ganymede (moon)
Geocorona
The geocorona is the luminous part of the outermost region of the Earth's atmosphere, the exosphere.
Gravity
In physics, gravity is a fundamental interaction which causes mutual attraction between all things that have mass.
Helium
Helium (from lit) is a chemical element; it has symbol He and atomic number 2.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol H and atomic number 1.
Ideal gas
An ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of many randomly moving point particles that are not subject to interparticle interactions.
Interplanetary medium
The interplanetary medium (IPM) or interplanetary space consists of the mass and energy which fills the Solar System, and through which all the larger Solar System bodies, such as planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets, move.
See Exosphere and Interplanetary medium
Iron
Iron is a chemical element.
Knudsen number
The Knudsen number (Kn) is a dimensionless number defined as the ratio of the molecular mean free path length to a representative physical length scale.
See Exosphere and Knudsen number
List of natural satellites
Of the Solar System's eight planets and its nine most likely dwarf planets, six planets and seven dwarf planets are known to be orbited by at least 300 natural satellites, or moons.
See Exosphere and List of natural satellites
Magnetosphere
In astronomy and planetary science, a magnetosphere is a region of space surrounding an astronomical object in which charged particles are affected by that object's magnetic field.
See Exosphere and Magnetosphere
Mean free path
In physics, mean free path is the average distance over which a moving particle (such as an atom, a molecule, or a photon) travels before substantially changing its direction or energy (or, in a specific context, other properties), typically as a result of one or more successive collisions with other particles.
See Exosphere and Mean free path
Mercury (planet)
Mercury is the first planet from the Sun and the smallest in the Solar System.
See Exosphere and Mercury (planet)
Molecule
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by attractive forces known as chemical bonds; depending on context, the term may or may not include ions which satisfy this criterion.
Moon
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite.
NASA
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space research.
Natural satellite
A natural satellite is, in the most common usage, an astronomical body that orbits a planet, dwarf planet, or small Solar System body (or sometimes another natural satellite).
See Exosphere and Natural satellite
Orbit
In celestial mechanics, an orbit (also known as orbital revolution) is the curved trajectory of an object such as the trajectory of a planet around a star, or of a natural satellite around a planet, or of an artificial satellite around an object or position in space such as a planet, moon, asteroid, or Lagrange point.
Outer space
Outer space (or simply space) is the expanse that exists beyond Earth's atmosphere and between celestial bodies.
Parabolic trajectory
In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics a parabolic trajectory is a Kepler orbit with the eccentricity equal to 1 and is an unbound orbit that is exactly on the border between elliptical and hyperbolic.
See Exosphere and Parabolic trajectory
Photodissociation
Photodissociation, photolysis, photodecomposition, or photofragmentation is a chemical reaction in which molecules of a chemical compound are broken down by absorption of light or photons.
See Exosphere and Photodissociation
Planet
A planet is a large, rounded astronomical body that is generally required to be in orbit around a star, stellar remnant, or brown dwarf, and is not one itself.
Potassium
Potassium is a chemical element; it has symbol K (from Neo-Latin kalium) and atomic number19.
Radiation pressure
Radiation pressure (also known as light pressure) is mechanical pressure exerted upon a surface due to the exchange of momentum between the object and the electromagnetic field.
See Exosphere and Radiation pressure
Research
Research is "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge".
Scale height
In atmospheric, earth, and planetary sciences, a scale height, usually denoted by the capital letter H, is a distance (vertical or radial) over which a physical quantity decreases by a factor of e (the base of natural logarithms, approximately 2.718).
See Exosphere and Scale height
Sodium
Sodium is a chemical element; it has symbol Na (from Neo-Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.

Sputtering
In physics, sputtering is a phenomenon in which microscopic particles of a solid material are ejected from its surface, after the material is itself bombarded by energetic particles of a plasma or gas.
Thermosphere
The thermosphere is the layer in the Earth's atmosphere directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. Exosphere and thermosphere are atmosphere.
