Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Lowest level in the atmosphere at which the mean free path of the gas particles is long enough for them to travel appreciable distances without suffering a collision; some of the particles are then able to escape from the Earth’s gravitational field if travelling at a sufficient speed. 5, record 1, English, - critical%20level%20of%20escape
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The base of the exosphere is called the critical level of escape because, in the absence of collisions, lighter, faster-moving atoms such as hydrogen and helium may attain velocities that allow them to escape the planet's gravitational field. Most molecules, however, have velocities considerably lower than the escape velocity, so their rate of escape to outer space is quite low. 6, record 1, English, - critical%20level%20of%20escape
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Critical level of escape... is also the level at which the horizontal mean free path of atmospheric particle equals the scale height of the atmosphere. 4, record 1, English, - critical%20level%20of%20escape
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The height of the critical level, which can vary from 500 to 1000 km, is strongly dependent on the temperature of the upper thermosphere, and varies diurnally and with the level of solar activity. 7, record 1, English, - critical%20level%20of%20escape

L'exosphère est la dernière couche d'atmosphère terrestre qui se situe au-dessus de la thermosphère. Cette couche se définie comme la région de l'atmosphère où les collisions entre particules sont rares, considérées comme négligeables. Les atomes s'y comportent librement, certains s'échappent même dans l'espace. La base de l'exosphère (l'exobase) se situe entre 350 et 800 km d'altitude suivant la température à la thermopause, qui est liée à l'activité solaire. L'hélium et l'hydrogène y sont les éléments prépondérants. Elle s'étend jusqu'à la limite extrême de l'atmosphère, soit 50 000 kilomètres. On ne trouve plus là que quelques atomes d'hydrogène. 3, record 1, French, - niveau%20critique%20d%27%C3%A9chappement

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The exosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. On Earth, its lower boundary is estimated at 500 km to 1000 km above the Earth’s surface, and its upper boundary at about 10,000 km. It is only from the exosphere that atmospheric gases can, to any appreciable extent, escape into outer space. 6, record 2, English, - exosphere
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The exosphere goes from about 400 miles(640 km) high to about 800 miles(1, 280 km). The lower boundary of the [Earth's] exosphere is called the critical level of escape, where atmospheric pressure is very low(the gas atoms are very widely spaced) and the temperature is very low. 7, record 2, English, - exosphere
