To avoid turbulence, most commercial jets fly in the upper layer of the troposphere, which varies in height depending on latitude, typically 40,000 feet (5 km). This is on the border of the tropopause, just above the troposphere, and the lower layer of the stratosphere in some cases.
Stratosphere is the layer above troposphere. Troposphere is the first layer and is below the stratosphere.
The Stratosphere does not end at 9 miles in the first place. The Stratosphere STARTS at 17 km so if you do the math, you will know that the Stratosphere does not end at 9 miles.Secondly, the Stratosphere ends at 17 km because that's where the Mesosphere starts.
The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere (where we live). The ozone layer is found in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere is the lowest layer where temperature increases with increasing altitude.

Stratosphere and Troposphere
Most aircraft do not travel in the stratosphere. Some military and passenger jets fly in the stratosphere, but most aircraft fly in the troposphere, below the stratosphere.
The layer is stratosphere. It contains the ozone layer.
Mostly in the troposphere but on longer range flights they can climb into the lower portions of the stratosphere.

The 5 layers of the atmosphere are the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and the Exosphere. Troposphere is closest to earth...its also where we live,stratosphere is where our equator is located, mesosphere is the coldest of them all, thermosphere is the hottest, and then the exosphere is farthest from the earth.
Airplanes fly in the Stratosphere, which is the second major layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It is below the mesosphere and above the troposphere. It is stratified in temperature, with warmer layers higher up and cooler layers farther down. This is in contrast to the troposphere near the Earth's surface, which is cooler higher up and warmer farther down. The winds in the stratosphere run parallel to the Earth in fast moving air streams.
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?\
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?\
Airlines prefer to fly in the troposphere and spy planes or supersonic jets fly in the stratosphere. And also so they can avoid storms. they fly in the stratosphere because it contains the jet stream
