Layers of the Atmosphere
The key layer for people living on the surface of the
Earth, is the troposphere. It gives us the air that we
breathe and our weather.
Altitude of the Layers
As altitude increases, air temperature falls in the
Troposphere, rises in the Stratosphere, falls again
in the Mesosphere, and rises again in the
Thermosphere (due to the suns ability to boost
temperatures).
