    Question: Which of the following is the lowermost layer of the earth's atmosphere?

    Options:

    Thermosphere
    Mesosphere
    Troposphere
    More than one of the above

    The correct answer is Troposphere.

    🔑Key Points:
    Troposphere
    -The lowest layer of our atmosphere is called the troposphere.
    -It begins at ground level and rises to a height of approximately 10 kilometers (6.2 miles or 33,000 feet) above sea level.
    -Nearly all weather occurs in the troposphere, where we people reside.
    -Because the troposphere contains 99 percent of the atmosphere's water vapor, this is where the majority of clouds form.​

    🔴Additional Information:
    Stratosphere
    -From the troposphere to roughly 50 km (31 miles) above the surface, the stratosphere is present.
    -The stratosphere contains the protective ozone layer.
    -High-intensity ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun is absorbed by ozone molecules in this layer, which turns the UV energy into heat. 

    Mesosphere
    -The mesosphere is located above the stratosphere.
    -It rises to an altitude of roughly 85 km (53 miles) above our planet.
    -The mesosphere is where most meteors burn up. As you ascend through the mesosphere, temperatures drop once more, in contrast to the stratosphere.
    Thermosphere
    -The thermosphere refers to the layer of extremely rare air above the mesosphere.
    -The thermosphere heats up to hundreds or even thousands of degrees as a result of the Sun's high-energy X-rays and UV radiation being absorbed there.
