Lithosphere :)
The Earth's surface layer is called the crust.

The hardest layer of the Earth is the inner core, consisting mainly of solid iron and nickel. Followed by the outer core which is liquid iron and nickel. The mantle is softer than the core but still solid, made up of hot, flowing rock. The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and the softest of the four layers.
The first layer of the Earth's atmosphere is called the troposphere, and it is in direct contact with the Earth's surface. This layer is where weather events occur and where most of the Earth's clouds and precipitation are found. Temperature usually decreases with altitude in the troposphere.

The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth.
The earth thinnest layer is the crust.
Actually, the Troposphere Layer can be considered as Earth's first protective layer, because its well-the atmosphere's first layer. You can think of it that way to remember which is Earths first layer.
The layer below the earth's outer layer is mesosphere. It is the 3rd layer.
