Explanation:

Thursday's Question

The Earth's atmosphere has four main layers. The troposphere is closest, where weather occurs. Next is the stratosphere with the ozone layer. Then the mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere (farthest).

The ozone layer (in stratosphere) absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This protects living organisms from UV damage (like skin cancer, eye damage, harm to plants/ecosystems).

Answer:

Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere
