Explanation:

Question 1

The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, closest to Earth's surface (not the Moon). Option A is wrong (Moon - Earth's atmosphere is about Earth). Option B is wrong (humans interact with troposphere, e.g., weather occurs here). Option D is wrong (farthest layer is exosphere/thermosphere, not troposphere). So C is correct.

In the troposphere, weather (like temperature, precipitation, wind) is constantly changing due to convection, air masses, etc. Option A is wrong (temperatures vary, not always below freezing). Option C is too specific (not always raining and windy, just has such phenomena sometimes). Option D is wrong (weather changes, it's dynamic). So B is correct.

Answer:

C. the layer of the atmosphere closest to the surface of the Earth
