Answer:
The blanket of air surrounding the earth's surface is known as atmosphere.
It's layers are as follows :
- Troposphere - The troposphere is the lowermost and densest layer. Its height varies from 18 in at Equator to 8 km at the poles.
- Stratosphere - This layer lies above the tropopause. It extends to a height of 50 km from sea level.
- Mesosphere - This layer lies above the stratosphere and extends to a height of 80 km from ground level.
- Thermosphere - It extends from mesopause and consists of two layers (a) Ionosphere and (b) Exosphere.
- Exosphere - It is the uppermost layer in the structure of the atmosphere. It lies between 400 to 1500 km above the earth.
