Question

choose the correct answer.
diagram: exosphere (>600 km), thermosphere (80-600 km), mesosphere (50-80 km), stratosphere (12-50 km), troposphere (0-12 km) with earth illustration
which layer of the atmosphere is closest to the earth and is known as the \weathersphere\ because the weather is located in this layer?
options: stratosphere, troposphere

Explanation:

The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere (0 - 12 km above Earth's surface), closest to Earth, and is where weather phenomena occur, earning it the name "weathersphere". The stratosphere is above the troposphere (12 - 50 km) and is not the layer with weather activity or the closest to Earth.

Answer:

Troposphere
