The troposphere is the layer
of the atmosphere in which
weather occurs.
With increasing height, the

layer closet to Earth's
surface. Y
Contains approximately 85
to 90 % of the mass of the E
Earth’s atmosphere.
By mass, the troposphere R
makes up around 75% of
the Earth's atmosphere..

The temperature in the A
stratosphere is fairly stable,
but due to ozone's Y
absorption of ultraviolet
radiation, it can rise at the E
upper reaches of this layer.
It extends up to a height of R
10 to 50 km.
Very calm and stable layer.
Is located between the
stratosphere and the 3rd
thermosphere.

It is the coldest atmospheric E

Its temperature fluctuates E

The thermopause is the
border between the
thermosphere and the
exosphere.
Gradually fades into the
vacuum of space. It is the
most outer layer.
The air in the exosphere
is very thin, and is made
up mostly of helium, and
hydrogen.
The only part of the
atmosphere with a 5TH

In the exosphere, there is L
no air to breathe, and it is
extremely frigid. A

affected zones.
It starts at an altitude of
E
about 500 km and goes R
out to about 10,000 km.
Heat cannot be
transported in this layer
due to the low particle
density caused by the
high air density.

exosphere, mesosphere
