Troposhphere


What is the thinnest layer of earths atmosphere?

The atmosphere layer that is thinnest in size is the upper layer, the exosphere. 1. The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer. 2. Many jet aircrafts fly in the stratosphere because it is very stable. Also, the ozone layer absorbs harmful rays from the Sun. 3. Meteors or rock fragments burn up in the mesosphere. 4. The thermosphere is a layer with auroras. It is also where the space shuttle orbits. 5. The atmosphere merges into space in the extremely thin exosphere. This is the upper limit of our atmosphere.


How far does the straosphere extend above earths surface?

The stratosphere's upper limit is about 20 miles above sea level.

Well this will depend on if you consider Scotland as part of Britain. If you do, then that would be the Shetland pony with a maximum height limit of 10.2 hands.
