The term mesosphere is the layer in earth's atmosphere which is exactly above mesosphere but below exosphere.

Explanation:

Ionosphere basically acts as an extension of mesosphere and is not considered originally as an atmospheric layer. It is actually defined as the region of the earth's surface in which a large number electrically charged particles that is ions and electrons can be found in which are created due to the sun's radiation.
