Question

what is the vertical extent of the atmosphere

Answer 1

there are different layers :-
Troposphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth'satmosphere. It extends from Earth's surface to an average height of about 12 km, although this altitude varies from about 9 km (30,000 ft) at the poles to 17 km (56,000 ft) at the equator, with some variation due to weather.

Excluding the exosphere, the atmosphere has four primary layers, which are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere.And from highest to lowest, the five main layers are:

Exosphere: 700 to 10,000 km (440 to 6,200 miles)

Thermosphere: 80 to 700 km (50 to 440 miles)

Mesosphere: 50 to 80 km (31 to 50 miles)

Stratosphere: 12 to 50 km (7 to 31 miles)

Troposphere: 0 to 12 km (0 to 7 miles)

this division of atmosphere is called atmospheric stratification .
