Draw a neat, labelled diagram showing the different layers of the atmosphere. Name the layers and mark their approximate distance from the surface of the earth. Mark some interesting features associated with each layer of the atmosphere.

List the four main layers of the atmosphere, beginning with the layer closest to Earth's surface. Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere.
the atmosphere has 4 layers: the troposphere that we live in near the surface of the earth; the stratosphere that houses the ozone layer; the mesosphere, a colder and lower density layer with about 0.1% of the atmosphere; and the thermosphere, the top layer, where the air is hot but very thin.\

Troposphere. The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). ...
Stratosphere. The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. ...

Troposphere bears about three-fourth of the mass of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Stratosphere is also known as Ozonosphere.
