The top portion of the troposphere is known as the tropopause. It is characterized by a stable temperature gradient and acts as a boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere above.

In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases as altitude increases. This is due to the decreasing air pressure and the fact that the upper regions of the troposphere are cooler due to their distance from the Earth's surface.
In descending order: exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere.
The altitude of the bottom of the troposphere is around 8 kilometers (5 miles) at the poles and 18 kilometers (11 miles) at the equator. The altitude of the top of the troposphere is approximately 12 kilometers (7 miles) at the poles and 20 kilometers (12 miles) at the equator.
Cirrus clouds are commonly found at the top of the troposphere. They are thin and wispy in appearance, formed by ice crystals and often indicate fair weather or the approach of a change in the weather.

The troposphere is the portion of the atmosphere closest to earth. It is below the stratosphere.
