The final boundary between the Earth and outer space is called the magnetopause. The magnetosphere (option 1) is the region surrounding the Earth where the planet`s magnetic field influences the charged particles in space. The ionosphere (option 2) is a layer of the Earth`s atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation. The mesopause (option 3) is the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere in the Earth`s atmosphere. However, the magnetopause (option 4) is the correct answer as it specifically refers to the boundary between the Earth`s magnetic field and the solar wind. It marks the point where the pressure from the solar wind balances the pressure from Earth`s magnetic field.
