Question

The total mass of air surrounding the Earth, from the uppermost thermosphere down to the troposphere (1 point)

Answer 1

The total mass of air surrounding the Earth is approximately 5.15 x 10^18 kg. This mass includes the entire atmosphere, which extends from the surface of the Earth up to the outer regions of the thermosphere. The atmosphere's mass is concentrated mostly in the troposphere, where weather phenomena occur, but it gradually decreases with altitude.
