The following are important books on the mesosphere:

I noticed that the "coldest temperature" is listed as 200 K, but in fact the temperature in the summer mesopause gets much colder, down to about 100 K. The temperature at the summer mesopause is thought to be a sensitive indicator of global change, and greater thermal energy in the lower atmosphere. -90 c — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.28.146 ( talk) 01:14, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Does anyone know what the temperature RANGE of the mesosphere is in Celsius?
Is 80-90 km about 50 miles? Which is closer to 50? Tailsfan2 ( talk) 00:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
How does the mesosphere stop meteors? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.244.20.149 ( talk) 23:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
The friction forces rise with the density of air. So the meteorites melt due frictional heating and desintegrate into smaller parts and atoms and molecules. These small particles are much slower, than a massive particle, and more or less float. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.102.186.40 ( talk) 11:28, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Can anyone tell me what particles are in abundance at this layer of the earths atmosphere? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dankelly83 ( talk • contribs) 16:10, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone know at what altitude the sky turns from blue to black? Then again, the altitude probably varies with latitude (because the altitude of the layers of the atmosphere vary with latitude), so perhaps a better question is in what layer of the atmosphere does the sky turn from blue to black?

1. Black is not a color. 2. The blue color of the sky comes from the frequency dependence f^4 in the dominant scattering process (Rayleigh-scattering). When the air gets thinner, there is less scattered solar radiation, therefore the the sky becomes darker. This of course also depends on the day/night conditions as well as the angle the light is scattered into your field of view. Your question is maybe, at which altitude Rayleigh scattering gets that low, that you would consider it as black, which is dependant of the individual properties of your eyes, e.g. the treshold you set for no signal. There is no sharp transition from blue to black. The sky can actually have many other different color, like red and green lights from oxygen transitions in the aurora, polar light, etc.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.102.186.40 ( talk) 11:20, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm no scientist, but isn't this statement erroneous, given that the mesosphere isn't "on Earth"? -- Dweller ( talk) 15:48, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

I added to this article the content from the "Near Space" article, which is now a redirect to this page.
(Still need to merge the content into a single narrative and delete duplications). Guy who reads a lot ( talk) 20:37, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

there is another link you should look at and i have placed it here — Preceding unsigned comment added by Metameteor ( talk • contribs) 14:10, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Near space. The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 October 6#Near space until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

It's the second time I restore the sequence:
It's the second time someone flipped the "below" and "above", leading to airliners flying above mezosphere and satellites orbiting below. Sharpfang ( talk) 15:11, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
