Writing that the temperature decreases with height throughout the atmosphere. It decreases in the troposphere and mesosphere and increases in the stratosphere and thermosphere.
Confusing high temperature in the thermosphere with high heat: the density there is extremely low.
Saying that nitrogen is not found in oxides because it is unreactive "at all". Say: N₂ has a strong triple bond; it reacts only under lightning or very high temperatures.
Confusing the ionosphere (a region of the thermosphere with ions) with the ozone layer (in the stratosphere).
Using vrms and ve in different units. Use m/s for both.
