The atmospheric layer nearest to the earth is known as
A
Ionosphere
B
Mesosphere
C
Troposphere
D
Stratosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The troposphere is the lowest layer of our atmosphere. Starting at ground level, it extends upward to about 10 km (6.2 miles or about 33, 000 feet) above sea level. We humans live in the troposphere, and nearly all weather occurs in this lowest layer.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The layer closest to Earth’s surface is the troposphere, reaching from about seven and 15 kilometers (five to 10 miles) from the surface. The troposphere is thickest at the equator, and much thinner at the North and South Poles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Troposphere means “ region of mixing”, it is named so because of the vigorous convective air within the layer. 80 percentage of the mass of the atmosphere is in the Troposphere.
