The lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere, the one directly above the ground, is called the
A
troposphere
B
stratosphere
C
thermosphere
D
mesosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Troposphere. Known as the lower atmosphere almost all weather occurs in this region. The troposphere begins at the Earth’s surface and extends from 4 to 12 miles (6 to 20 km) high. The height of the troposphere varies from the equator to the poles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Troposphere. Known as the lower atmosphere, almost all weather occurs in this region. The troposphere begins at the Earth’s surface, but the height of the troposphere varies.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Troposphere This is the lowest part of the atmosphere-the part we live in. It contains most of our weather-clouds, rain, snow. In this part of the atmosphere the temperature gets colder as the distance above the earth increases, by about 6.5°C per kilometre.

Detailed explanation-4: -The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.

Detailed explanation-5: -The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere. Most of the mass (about 75-80%) of the atmosphere is in the troposphere. Most types of clouds are found in the troposphere, and almost all weather occurs within this layer.
