How many miles is the troposphere from earth?

The troposphere extends about 7 miles (11 kilometers) above Earth's surface at the poles and about 12 miles (19 kilometers) at the equator.


How many miles does the troposphere extend up from the ground?

The troposphere extends up to about 7 miles (11 kilometers) from the Earth's surface at the poles and up to about 10 miles (16 kilometers) at the equator.


What is the volume of the troposphere?

The troposhere is about 7 miles high. Different articles mention different numbers, but it generally comes down to a difference in latitude. It ranges between an altitude of 8-18 kilometres. It is higher near the equator and lower near the poles.


How high does the atmosphere extend from the earth?

The Karman Line, 100 km (62 miles) above the surface of the earth, is usually regarded as the boundary between the earth's atmosphere and outer space.The earth's atmosphere has many layers:Magnetosphere - the highest layerExosphere (500 to 1000 km altitude)Thermosphere (including ionosphere and the Karman Line, 100 km up, which is the boundary between the atmosphere and outer space.MesosphereStratosphere (including ozone layer, 15 to 35 km high)Troposphere (including peplosphereor planetary boundary layer) - the lowest layer, whose depth is 17 km (11 miles) at the equator and 7 km (5 miles) at the poles.


What are the four main layers of the atmosphere in order from earth's surface to space?

TroposphereStratosphereMesosphereThermosphere*Ionosphere (usually included in the thermosphere)*Exosphere (may be included as a fifth layer beyond the basic four)

How many miles around the troposphere?

The troposphere is the lowest level of the Earth's atmosphere and is approximately the same distance as the Earth's circumference is around 24,902 miles. However, the circumference of the troposphere will be slightly larger as it is higher than the Earth, but for the sake of your question, the difference is negligible.

How Many layers of atmosphere are under the tropopause?

There are two main layers of the atmosphere beneath the tropopause: the stratosphere and the troposphere. The stratosphere lies just below the tropopause and extends down to about 31 miles (50 kilometers) above Earth's surface, while the troposphere is the layer closest to Earth's surface and extends up to the tropopause.
