Ecosphere has several different meanings:
- In astronomy an ecosphere is an imaginary shell of space surrounding stars where conditions are such that life might survive. See habitable zone.
- In ecology the term ecosphere can refer to the global ecosystem of the planet (essentially the same as biosphere).
- In education, an ecosphere is a closed ecosystem useful for learning about ecology. It is also available as a novelty gift.
