A magnetosphere is the region around an astronomical object in which phenomena are dominated or organized by its magnetic field. Earth is surrounded by a magnetosphere, as are the magnetized planets Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Jupiter's moon Ganymede is magnetized, but too weakly to trap solar wind plasma. Mars has patchy surface magnetization. The term "magnetosphere" has also been used to describe regions dominated by the magnetic fields of celestial objects, e.g. pulsar magnetospheres. The magnetosphere of Earth is a region in space whose shape is determined by the extent of Earth's internal magnetic field, the solar wind plasma, and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). In the magnetosphere, a mix of free ions and electrons from both the solar wind and the Earth's ionosphere is confined by magnetic and electric forces that are much stronger than gravity and collisions. In spite of its name, the magnetosphere is distinctly non-spherical. On the side facing the Sun, the distance to its boundary, which varies with solar wind intensity, is about 70,000 kilometers, 10 to 12 Earth radii or RE, where 1 RE = 6371 kilometers; unless otherwise noted, all distances here are from the Earth's center. The boundary of the magnetosphere ("magnetopause") is roughly bullet shaped, about 15 RE abreast of Earth and on the night side (in the "magnetotail" or "geotail") approaching a cylinder with a radius 20 to 25 RE. The tail region stretches well past 200 RE, and the way it ends is not well-known. The outer neutral gas envelope of Earth, or geocorona, consists mostly of the lightest atoms, hydrogen and helium, and continues beyond 4 to 5 RE, with diminishing density.
The Thermosphere contains the Ionosphere that is why it is really thick.
thermosphere
the ionosphere is located in the thermosphere under the exosphere and above the mesosphere
The Thermosphere has the most Ion's. Actullaythere isa layer in the Thermosphere thats called the "Ionsphere".
Ionosphere is at the top of the atmosphere. It contains ions.

Density of air decreases on increasing height, hence we categorize the atmosphere into different layers from Troposhere to Ionosphere at particular kilometers respectively.
Troposphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, and Thermosphere. Thermosphere has two levels in itself; exosphere, and ionosphere
the ionosphere.
The "ionosphere" is a layer that contains charged particals, or ions. It includes the thermosphere and part of the mesophere. The "thermosphere" is the outermost layer of earths atmosphere. The "mesophere" is the atmospheric layer located between the stratosphere and the thermosphere.
The Earth's atmosphere is composed in FIVE different layers. The first one is the Troposphere, which is the closest to the Earth's surface. The second one is the stratosphere. The third atmosphere is called the mesosphere, which contains the coldest air temperature. The forth is thermosphere, which contains the ionosphere that are made up of electrically charged particles (note that the ionosphere is not one of the atmosphere). The last part of the atmosphere is the exosphere, which is the region of the space travel. It is also the furthest atmospheric layer from the Earth.
thermosphere
The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ionosphere and exosphere is called the thermosphere. The exosphere is at the top and the ionosphere is at the bottom.
Ozonosphere, Ionosphere, Exosphere, and Magnetosphere.
the magnetosphere,exospher,ionosphere,and the ozonosphere.
The layers of the Earth atmosphere are: * Troposphere - peplosphere * Stratosphere * Mesosphere * Thermosphere - ionosphere * exosphere * magnetosphere

Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Exosphere
Ionosphere contains ions. It is a part of atmosphere.
Thermosphere These charged particles comprise the layers of the ionosphere that coexist with the uncharged, or "neutral," atoms and molecules of the thermosphere.
The layers of the Earth are the inner core, the outer core, the mantle, the crust, and the atmosphere. The layers of the atmosphere are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, ionosphere, and exosphere.
Troposphere and stratosphere are the minor layers of Earth's atmosphere. The troposphere is where weather occurs, and it is the closest to the Earth. The stratosphere is the second closest and where planes fly. It is 40 kilometers thick, and the troposphere is 12 kilometers thick.
Yes, it is part of the Thermosphere, the last part of the atmosphere before the Exosphere, 'outer space'.& its after the Mesosphere, it also is stuck with poor old Ionosphere.
