An object is located at a height of 18 km from the surface of earth. The object is located in:

• A. stratosphere
• B. mesosphere
• C. ionosphere
• D. thermosphere

Answer 1

The correct option is A stratosphere

Below are distances of different layers of Atmosphere from Earth:

Exosphere: It ranges from 700 to 10,000 km (440 to 6,200 miles)

Thermosphere: It ranges from 80 to 700 km (50 to 440 miles)

Mesosphere: It ranges from 50 to 80 km (31 to 50 miles)

Stratosphere: It ranges from 12 to 50 km (7 to 31 miles)

Troposphere: It ranges from 0 to 12 km (0 to 7 miles)

So the correct option is A
