troposphere
The atmosphere is from the area just above the ground to 1200 miles above ground
The lowest clouds in the atmosphere are typically found at a height of about 6,500 to 13,000 feet above the ground.
The end of the atmosphere is about 63 miles above the surface of earth
stratosphere 0 to 10km above ground surface
The lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, directly above the ground, is called the troposphere. It is where almost all weather phenomena occur and where the majority of Earth's clouds are found. Approximately 75% of the atmosphere's mass is contained within the troposphere.
35K Feet = 10.668 KM Atmosphere = 560 KM Airplane at 35,000 feet would be above approximately 1.9% of the earth's atmosphere.
The atmosphere is denser near the Earth's surface because gravity pulls the air molecules towards the ground, compressing them and increasing their density. As you move higher in the atmosphere, there are fewer air molecules above you, leading to lower pressure and density.

This part of the atmosphere is called the ionosphere. It has the largest concentration of ions because the gases in this area are ionized by Solar Radiation.
