The layers of atmosphere constitute Troposphere, Stratosphere,
Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Ionosphere and Exosphere where Troposphere
begins from the surface of the earth and Exosphere is the outermost
layer. There specifications are as follows:
Troposphere : This is the first layer at starts from the surface of the earth and extends upto 12 kilometers. All weather phenomena take place in this layer and it contains half of the earth's atmosphere. 99% of the water vapor in the atmosphere is found in the troposphere and mostly clouds appear here. As one goes higher in this layer, temperature drops.
Stratosphere : It extends from the end of the Troposphere to 50 kilometers. Ozone layer which absorbs harmful rays of the sun exists in this layer. Jet aircrafts fly in this layer as this is very stable. Unlike troposphere, stratosphere gets warmer the higher you go.
Mesosphere : It ranges from 50 to 80 kilometers and meteors burn in this layer. Unlike stratosphere, temperature again drops in mesosphere and the earth's coldest temperature, -90 is found near the top of this layer. The temperature continues dropping as one goes higher in this layer. The air in this layer is too thin to breathe.

Thermosphere : Ranging from 80 to 700 kilometers, this is the layer where Auroras, Northern Lights and Southern Lights occur in this layer and space shuttles orbit it. High energy X-rays and UV radiations are absorbed in the atmosphere, raising its temperature to hundreds or sometimes thousands of degrees. The air, however, is so this that it would feel freezing cold to us.
Exosphere : This is layer where atmosphere merges with space. It ranges from 700 to 10,000 kilometers. In exosphere is constantly, though very gradually, leaking out of earth's atmosphere into outer space. There is no clear cut upper boundary where the exosphere fades away into space.
