Homosphere
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006270
The lower region of the Earth's atmosphere, extending from the surface up to approximately 100 kilometers altitude, where the major atmospheric gases are well-mixed and maintain a relatively constant proportion. This uniform composition is maintained by turbulent mixing processes. It encompasses the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and the lower part of the thermosphere.
