There are five different layers in the earth atmosphere. First layer - Named the Troposphere, it is the lowest layer of the atmosphere and begins at the surface and extends to between 7 km (23,000 ft) at the poles and 17 km (56,000 ft) at the equator. Second layer - Named the Stratosphere, extends from the troposphere's 7-17 km (4.3-11 mi; 23,000-56,000 ft) range to about 51 km (32 mi; 170,000 ft). Though part of the Stratosphere, the ozone layer is considered as a layer of the Earth's atmosphere in itself because its physical and chemical composition is far different from the Stratosphere. Temperature increases with height. Third layer - Named the Mesosphere, extends from about 50 km (31 mi; 160,000 ft) to the range of 80-85 km (50-53 mi; 260,000-280,000 ft). Temperature also decreases with height, reaching −100 °C (−148.0 °F; 173.1 K) in the upper mesosphere Fourth layer - Named the Thermosphere, ranged from 80-85 km (50-53 mi; 260,000-280,000 ft) to over 640 km (400 mi; 2,100,000 ft). Temperature increasing with height. And although the temperature can rise to 1,500 °C (2,730 °F), one would not feel warm because of the extremely low pressure Fifth layer - Named the Exosphere, the furthest most layer ranging from 500-1,000 km (310-620 mi; 1,600,000-3,300,000 ft) up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi; 33,000,000 ft), and contains free-moving particles

The first layer of the earths atmosphere touching earths surf?

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.

Can the troposphere layer be considered as earths first protective layer?

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.


What is the top layer of earths atmosphere called?

The top layer of Earth's atmosphere is called the exosphere. It is the outermost layer where the atmosphere transitions into space. The exosphere is very thin and composed mostly of low-density gases.

What the third layer of the earths atmosphere is called?

The third layer of the Earth's atmosphere is called the mesosphere. It is located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere, with temperatures decreasing with height in this layer. The mesosphere is where most meteoroids burn up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere.
