Pretending that the earth and its atmosphere are perfectly spherical and not elliptical, we can calculate the approximate volume of the stratosphere. The radius of the Earth is roughly 6,378.1 km. The troposphere, which lies below the stratosphere is around 18 km at its highest height. The stratosphere extends to around 42 km above the troposphere. Finding the difference between the volume of the earth including the atmosphere and the earth up to the troposphere gives the approximate volume of the stratosphere. It is approximately 22 thousand million kiloliters.
Most of the oxygen is in the troposphere. Stratosphere contains ozone. It is the converted oxygen.
The atmoshpere is made up of the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, and the thermosphere. The atmosphere consists from dry air and water vapor (average 1%). Dry air contains 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% other gases (mostly argon 0.9% and carbon dioxide 0.04%). Percentages are by volume.
A pie graph with approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other gases would accurately represent the percentage of elements by volume in Earth's troposphere.
No. Most of the atmosphere (regardless of the up to 1% water in the lower troposphere) is composed of nitrogen. Wikipedia lists the average composition of dry atmosphere, by volume, as follows:Nitrogen, N2 78.084% Oxygen, O2 20.946% Argon, Ar 0.934%Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_chemistry
The majority of the volume of a thunderstorm will always be in the troposphere, however, the tops of some very severe thunderstorms can penetrate into the stratosphere.

The graph that best represents the percentage by volume of the elements in Earth's troposphere would typically be a pie chart. This is because the troposphere is primarily composed of nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%), with trace amounts of argon, carbon dioxide, and other gases. A pie chart effectively illustrates the proportional relationships between these gases, clearly showing the dominance of nitrogen and oxygen.

The inner radius of the stratosphere is about 10 kilometers, while the outer radius extends up to 50 kilometers. The volume of the stratosphere can be estimated by using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, since the stratosphere can be approximated as a cylindrical shape.
Unanswerable - the stratosphere is a region, not a set distance from earth and is not regular.

Ozone is a gas, and its density is a function of pressure, temperature, and molecular fraction in a particular volume. For pure ozone gas, at 1.013 bar and 0 °C, the density is 2.141 kg/m3. (Air is about 1.295 kg/m3 at this same temperature and pressure.)
The atmosphere is primarily composed of Nitrogen (N2), which accounts for 78%. Oxygen follows, accounting for 20% of its volume, with argon less than 1%. The remainder is composed of particulates and trace gases, including water vapor.
