Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The portion of the Earth’s atmosphere closest to us is known as the:
A
troposphere
B
stratosphere
C
exosphere
D
None of the above
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. It is 11-12 miles (18-20 km) high at the equator, 5½ miles (9 km) at 50°N and 50°S, and just under four miles (6 km) high at the poles.

Detailed explanation-3: -troposphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere and site of all weather on Earth. The troposphere is bonded on the top by a layer of air called the tropopause, which separates the troposphere from the stratosphere, and on bottom by the surface of the Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -The layer of atmosphere closest to earth is called as the troposphere. Stratosphere is the layer next to troposphere.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
