Space atmosphere trivia

  •  Most meteors burn up in the mesosphere... about 48 tons every day. 
  • Temps in the thermosphere can get up to 4500 F but molecules are very far apart, such that a person wouldn't feel the heat (from the "air").
  • Sprites (atmosphere ... Pecos Hank type) can be 50 km long, while normal lightning is around 4 km in length. 
  • Bar-tailed Godwit is a bird.
  • There is more than one type of Griffin vulture.
