Earth's atmosphere is typically divided into five distinct layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The troposphere is where most weather occurs and extends up to about 8-15 kilometers above the surface. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, while the mesosphere is where meteors burn up. The thermosphere is characterized by high temperatures and the presence of the ionosphere, and the exosphere is the outermost layer, gradually fading into space.
