This decline in temperature is known as Normal lapse rate.

• The troposphere is the layer closest to the surface of Earth.

• The troposphere is approximately of 10 to 15 km thickness, which is thinner at the poles and thicker at the equator.

• The troposphere is the densest part of the atmosphere.

• The troposphere absorbs maximum heat radiated by earth surface this keeps Earth warm.

• The air that living organisms breathe is found in troposphere.

• The water vapour present in the atmosphere gives rise to weather and climatic changes in the atmosphere.
