Answer:

Mesosphere lies in between 50 to 80 km above the earth surface and due to low density gases escape easily and hence it is colder.

Explanation:

Mesosphere has the capacity to not absorb the infrared radiation that's why the gases reflected from the earth surface escape the layer of mesopause and goes inside the thermosphere.

In the thermosphere, even the minute atoms of gases ca be absorbed by the layer which increases the air temperature and the air rises up hence making thermosphere as the hottest layer in the atmosphere.

What is the Judaism distribution?

spayn [35]

Answer:

Judaism is mostly found in the USA and Israel, and in a smaller scale in some of the European and South American countries, though there are in other countries around the world.

Explanation:

Judaism is one of the oldest religions in the world that has managed to survive in modern times. It is the first of the Abrahamic religions and it has been the basis for the formation of Christianity and Islam later in history. The followers of this religion have been the subject of persecution and genocide multiple times throughout history, which has led to stagnation of the number of followers or drop of it.

Nowadays, the USA has the biggest number of Jews, around 12 million, while Israel, the only Jewish dominated country, has around 6.5 million Jews. Only three other countries have over half a million Jews and those are France, Canada, and Russia. Other countries where there are Jewish communities that number more than 100,000 people are the West Bank, UK, Argentina, Germany, Ukraine, Brazil, Australia, and Hungary.
