Write briefly about the layers of the atmosphere

उत्तर
The atmosphere is divided into five layers starting from the Earth’s surface:
- Troposphere — Its average height is 13 km. The air we breathe exists here. Almost all the weather phenomena like rainfall, fog and hailstorm occur in this layer.
- Stratosphere — It lies above the troposphere which extends up to a height of 50 km. This layer is almost free from clouds and associated weather phenomenon, making conditions most ideal for flying aeroplanes. It contains a layer of ozone gas.
- Mesosphere — It lies above the stratosphere. It extends up to the height of 80 km. Meteorites bum up in this layer on entering from the space.
- Thermosphere — In thermosphere, temperature rises very rapidly with increasing height. Ionosphere is a part of this layer. It extends between 80-400 km. This layer helps in radio transmission. In fact, radio waves transmitted from the Earth are reflected back to the Earth by this layer.
- Exosphere — This upper most layer. This layer has very thin air. Light gases like helium and hydrogen float into the space from here.
