    What are the names of the Layers of the Atmosphere is order?

    • Troposphere, Stratosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere

    • Stratosphere, Mesosphere

    • Canada, Spain, U.S.A.

    • Exosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, Troposphere.

    • Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere.

    Correct Answer
    A. Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere. This is the correct order of the layers of the atmosphere, starting from the closest to the Earth's surface (troposphere) and extending outwards (exosphere). The troposphere is where weather occurs and contains the majority of the Earth's air mass. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer and protects the Earth from harmful UV radiation. The mesosphere is the layer where meteors burn up upon entry into the atmosphere. The thermosphere is the layer where the auroras occur and is characterized by high temperatures. The exosphere is the outermost layer, blending into space.

    What is the layer that is farthest from the surface of the Earth?

    • Troposphere

    • Exosphere

    • Mesosphere

    • Thermosphere

    • Stratosphere

    Correct Answer
    A. Exosphere
    Explanation
    The exosphere is the layer that is farthest from the surface of the Earth. It is the outermost layer of the atmosphere, extending from about 500 kilometers to thousands of kilometers above the Earth's surface. In this layer, the air density is extremely low, and the few particles that are present are very spread out. The exosphere is where Earth's atmosphere gradually merges with outer space.

    What layer of the Atmosphere does weather occur in?

    • The Troposphere

    • The Stratosphere

    • The Thermosphere

    • The Exosphere

    • A land far far away...

    Correct Answer
    A. The Troposphere
    Explanation
    Weather occurs in the Troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This is where most of the Earth's weather phenomena, such as clouds, rain, snow, and storms, take place. The Troposphere extends from the Earth's surface up to an altitude of about 8-15 kilometers, depending on the location and season. It is characterized by a decrease in temperature with increasing altitude, making it an important layer for weather patterns and atmospheric conditions.

  • 5. 

    What layer starts at about 90 km (56 miles) above the Earth’s surface, and goes to about 500 – 1,000 km (311 – 621 miles) above the surface of the Earth?

    • The Thermosphere

    • The United States of America

    • The Exosphere

    Correct Answer
    A. The Thermosphere
    Explanation
    The correct answer is The Thermosphere. The thermosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that starts at about 90 km (56 miles) above the Earth's surface and extends to about 500 - 1,000 km (311 - 621 miles) above the surface. It is characterized by high temperatures and low air density. This layer is where the International Space Station orbits and where the auroras occur.
