The layers of the atmosphere did not form. The layers are artificial concepts applied based on changes in temperature in the gases found at different altitudes. Its one mass, and solar radiation drives the "formation".
Sunlight completely ionizes the exosphere, and the temperature increases with increasing altitude.
The atmosphere is dense enough to be able to radiate heat, and recombination of molecules occurs in the mesosphere, and temperature decreases with decreasing altitude.
The stratosphere absorbs the lion's share of UV-C and UV-B, ozone is formed (the ozone layer), and the temperature increases with decreasing altitude.
The troposphere has a sudden cold gap just under the stratosphere (not enough absorbed energy to heat it, but plenty dense enough to lose heat by radiation), and the air gets hotter with decreasing altitude until it comes in contact with the Earth's surface.
