The troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, extends from the surface of the Earth up to a height that varies between about 9 km (or 30,000 ft) at the poles and 17 km (or 56,000 ft) at the equator.
The temperature typically decreases as you go up through the troposphere. This decrease in temperature with altitude is known as the lapse rate, and is usually around 6.5°C per kilometer of altitude.
Most meteors burn up in the atmosphere before reaching the troposphere, as they typically enter the Earth's atmosphere at high speeds and ignite upon contact with the air in the mesosphere, which lies above the troposphere. Additionally, the troposphere is primarily where weather occurs and contains a significant amount of air, which leads to increased friction and heat, causing meteors to disintegrate at higher altitudes. Consequently, by the time any debris reaches the troposphere, it is usually too small or has already burned up.
The troposphere is typically colder as you go higher in altitude. On average, the temperature decreases by about 6.5°C for every kilometer increase in altitude within the troposphere.
well there here are the layer in order: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere. the troposphere is about sixteen kilometers above sea level, so im guessing in about 2.5 seconds.
Troposphere.
about how low is the troposphere
It is cold and windy up there. The further you go up the colder it gets.
the temp goes down, the winds go up, and the pressure goes up...

The temperature gets colder as you go upward in the troposphere. Light from the Sun heats the ground. The warm ground gives off the heat as infrared "light". The IR energy heats the troposphere. The lowest part of the troposphere is the warmest because it is closest to the ground, where the heat is coming from.

A cirrus cloud is a high-altitude cloud that forms in the troposphere. It is composed of ice crystals and has a wispy, feathery appearance. Cirrus clouds often indicate fair weather but can also precede a change in the weather.
no!!!because the air pressure will be too high and there won't be enough oxygen for them to be able to breath
When you say "travel to space" I hope you mean get out of the troposphere, cause that's what I mean. It takes about 5 mins. to get out of the troposphere. (The troposphere is the first layer of the atmosphere) Once you get high up in the mesosphere, you can look down and actually see planet earth. -LIGHTNINGSCIENCE
nope there are other layers that make up the atmosphere the troposphere is not the only thing.

Over 99% of the mass of the earth's atmosphere is contained in two layers: the troposphere and the stratosphere. Most of the earth's atmosphere (80 to 90%) is found in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer where we live. This layer, where the earth's weather occurs, is within about 12 km (7 miles) of the earth's surface.
