The '''homosphere''' or ''noosphere'' is the portion of the earth's atmosphere, up to an altitude of about 60 miles, in which there is continuous turbulent mixing, and hence the composition of the atmosphere is relatively constant; as opposed to the ''heterosphere'' or ''exosphere,'' the higher regions in which the composition becomes stratified.<ref>Curry, Judith A. and Peter J.
