 \huge \dag\: \LARGE {\rm {\underline{  \underline{\gray {Layers  \: Of \: Atmosphere: }}}}}

  • Many layers of air are present in the atmosphere . Scientists have divided the atmosphere into four layers . These are :

 \leadsto \boxed{ \red {\sf\ \: 1. \:  \:The \: Troposphere:  }}

  • It gets its name from the Greek word tropos which means " a turn ". This is because the air there is constantly circulating .

  • The troposphere is the layer of of the atmosphere nearest to the Earth's Surface . As well as a mixture of gases , this layer contains cloud's , dust and pollution .

  • It extends to between 10 km ( 6 miles ) and 20 km ( 12 miles ) from the Earth .

  • The Troposphere is the layer where the weather is produced .

  \leadsto \: \boxed {\sf{ \red {\:2. The \:  Stratosphere: }}}

  • The upper limit of the Stratosphere is around 50 km ( 30 miles ) from Earth's surface .

  • When you fly in a plane , you fly in this layer , just above the clouds .

  • The stratosphere contains a concentration of ozone gas . This gases the Stratosphere to heat up .

  • This layer of ozone gas is very important , as it helps to shield the Earth from harmful rays , which can cause skin cancer and damage to the eyes .

 \leadsto   \: \boxed{ \sf {\red {3. \: The \:Mesosphere:  }}}

  • The mesosphere reaches a height of around 80 km ( 50 miles )

  • Temperatures here are the coolest in the atmosphere because the mesosphere contains no ozone , dust or clouds , which absorb energy from the sun .

  • It is hottest at the bottom due to the warmer Stratosphere layer below.

 \leadsto \boxed {\sf { \red { \: 4. \: The \: Thermosphere: }}}

  • Temperature in the Thermosphere can be extemely high , reaching up to 1,500°C .

  • This is because there is a high proportion of gas called atomic oxygen .

  • This absorbs ultraviolet rays from the Sun in the same way that ozone does.
