The atmosphere begins at the surface of the Earth and extends to space. The upper levels are the thermosphere (up to about 500-650 km altitude) and the exosphere (generally from 500 to 2000 km altitude but is nearly a vacuum).
The atmosphere can extend up to about 10,000 km above Earth's surface, but the density of air decreases significantly as you move higher. The exosphere, the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, is where the atmosphere transitions into space.
I suppose you mean, where the atmosphere ends. The atmosphere doesn't end abruptly, rather, it gradually becomes thinner. But at a height of a few hundred kilometers, for most practical purposes there is no more atmosphere.
The Earth's atmosphere extends about 480 km (300 miles) from the surface, but the majority of its mass is concentrated within the first 16 km (10 miles), known as the troposphere. Beyond the atmosphere lies outer space.
Yes, the moon has more craters than Earth. This is because the moon lacks an atmosphere to protect its surface from impacting rocks and debris, whereas Earth's atmosphere helps to burn up most objects before they reach the surface.
Our moon orbits far, far, far beyond any part of Earth's atmosphere, so your answer is, "None".
Earth's atmosphere extends up to about 560 kilometers (350 miles) above the Earth's surface. The outermost layer, called the exosphere, gradually transitions into outer space.
Clouds can be found at different altitudes in the Earth's atmosphere, but on average, they are located about 6,500 to 16,500 feet above the Earth's surface.
The stratosphere isn't on earth's surface, the troposphere is. The stratosphere is the next level of the atmosphere from the troposphere. the atmosphere is about 600 miles or kilometers above earth's surface.
The atmosphere can extend up to about 10,000 km above Earth's surface, but the density of air decreases significantly as you move higher. The exosphere, the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, is where the atmosphere transitions into space.
The answer is 85km
Earth is the only one we know of so far :)

Space Ships get heated on there return to earth due to friction from the atmosphere on the surface of the ship. The ships get hotter the closer they get to the surface. They begin to encounter very thin air at ~45-50,000 ft, and the atmosphere gets much more dense thus causing faster heating, the closer they get to the surface.

The Troposphere is part of the Atmosphere. It is the layer closest to the earth.

There are different names for different layers, but the name we use when talking about them all is the atmosphere.The names of the different layers are as following (from nearest-to-earth's-surface to the most far away):TroposphereStratosphereMesosphereThermosphereExosphere
