Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which layer of the atmosphere does weather occur?
A
Mesosphere
B
Thermosphere
C
Stratosphere
D
Troposphere
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: -Moreover, the weather occurs in the lowest layer of the atmosphere. Complete step by step answer: The troposphere is the layer in which the weather occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Weather systems develop and exist in the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere). Above this layer lies the stratosphere, which, as the name implies, is highly stratified, stable and dry. It is not directly involved in the development of daily weather.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water vapour plays an important role in producing many weather systems and this water vapor is mostly confined to the lowest layer of the atmosphere called the troposphere. Hence all the weather phenomena occur in the troposphere only.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fifty percent of the total mass of the atmosphere is located in the lower 18, 000 ft of the troposphere. Nearly all atmospheric water vapor or moisture is found in the troposphere, so it is the layer where most of Earth’s weather takes place.
