The stratosphere and part of the ozone
That would be the 2nd layer, the stratosphere layer with the ozone at top.
I think the correct answer is Stratus.
The stratosphere which contains most of the atmosphere's ozone.
The four main layers of the atmosphere in order from closest to the Earth's surface to farthest are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The troposphere is where weather occurs and is closest to the Earth's surface. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer and has a stable temperature. The mesosphere is the layer where meteors burn up upon entering. The thermosphere is the outermost layer and contains the ionosphere where auroras are formed.
yes.
yes
As the altitude increases in the Troposphere, The air temperature decreases. When about 1 kilometer increases in altitude, the air cools about 6.5 degrees Celsius. And at the very top of the Troposphere the air temperature stays the same at around -60 degrees Celsius.

air temperature
The hotter temperatures in the troposphere (layer of atmosphere closest to the earth's surface) are near the surface of the earth The colder temperatures are at the top of the troposphere.
Definitely not - it varies with temperature. The top of the troposphere is defined by (to simplify) the point where the temperature stops decreasing with height. This is going to vary depending on the temperature of the air below. The troposphere can be less than half the height at the poles as it is at the equator because cold air takes up much less space. Additionally, its height varies in the same location as the seasons change, or even as different air masses move through.

The troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, is heated from below. The troposphere is warmest at the bottom near Earth's surface. The troposphere is coldest at its top, where it meets up with the layer above (the stratosphere) at a boundary region called the tropopause. Temperatures drop as you move upward through the troposphere.Sunlight streams down from space through the atmosphere, striking the ground or ocean beneath. The sunlight heats the surface, and that surface radiates the heat into the adjacent atmosphere. Atmospheric scientists use a concept called a "standard atmosphere" to represent an average atmosphere with variations caused by weather, latitude, season, and so forth, removed. In the standard atmosphere model, the temperature at sea level at the bottom of the troposphere is 15° C (59° F). Higher up in the troposphere, where less heat from the surface warms the air, the temperature drops. Typically, the temperature drops about 6.5° C with each increase in altitude of 1 kilometer (about 3.6° F per 1,000 feet). The rate at which the temperature changes with altitude is called the "lapse rate". In the standard atmosphere, by the time you reach the top of the troposphere the temperature has fallen to a chilly -57° C (-70° F).Of course, the atmosphere is always changing and is never "standard". Temperatures in the troposphere, both at the surface and at various altitudes, do vary based on latitude, season, time of day or night, regional weather conditions, and so on. In some circumstances, the temperature at the top of the troposphere can be as low as -80° C (-110° F). When a weather phenomenon called at "temperature inversion" occurs, temperature in some part of the troposphere gets warmer with increasing altitude, contrary to the normal situation.In the layer above the troposphere, the stratosphere, temperature rises with increasing altitude. In the stratosphere, the air is heated from above by ultraviolet "light" which is absorbed by ozone molecules in the air. The tropopause is the boundary between the troposphere (below) and the stratosphere (above). The tropopause occurs where the temperature stops dropping with increasing altitude (in the troposphere) and begins climbing with increasing altitude (the stratosphere).
The troposphere is the portion of the atmosphere closest to earth. It is below the stratosphere.
