Solution

Earth's Atmospheric Layers:

  1. The Earth's atmosphere consists of different layers, each with its specific property.
  2. The troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere are the layers that rise above ground level.

Layers of atmosphere from top to bottom:

1. Troposphere

  1. It begins at the earth's surface.
  2. This is the densest layer.

2. Stratosphere:

  1. It is a layer above the troposphere.
  2. The ozone layer in this layer absorbs and scatters solar ultraviolet light.

3. Mesosphere:

  1. It is located above the stratosphere.
  2. In this stratum, meteors are burnt.

4. Thermosphere:

  1. It is a 600-kilometer-high layer above the mesosphere.
  2. In this tier, satellites are deployed.

5. Exosphere:

  1. The uppermost layer of the atmosphere, where the earth's atmosphere finishes, is known as the exosphere.
  2. It is the layer above the thermosphere.
