How does the arrangement of the air molecules found in the troposphere compare to the arrangement of those found in the thermosphere?
A
The air molecules are closer together in the troposphere and are farther apart in the thermosphere.
B
The air molecules are farther apart in the troposphere and are closer together in the thermosphere.
C
The number of air molecules is the same in the troposphere as in the thermosphere.
D
There are fewer air molecules is the troposphere than in the thermosphere.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How does the arrangement of the air molecules found in the troposphere compare to the arrangement of those found in the thermosphere? The air molecules are closer together in the troposphere and are farther apart in the thermosphere. Why do thunderstorms most often occur in the summer months?

Detailed explanation-2: -The thickness of the other three layers, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere, is 35km, 35km, and 513km, respectively. The thickness of each layer in terms of the troposphere’s thickness is 1.75 for the stratosphere, 1.75 for the mesosphere, and 20.6 for the thermosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The troposphere starts at the Earth’s surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main differences between the troposphere and the thermosphere are:-Altitude: The troposphere is much lower than the thermosphere.-Temperature: The troposphere is much colder than the thermosphere.-Air density: The troposphere is much denser than the thermosphere.

Detailed explanation-5: -Earth’s atmosphere has a layered structure. From the ground toward the sky, the layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.

Detailed explanation-6: -The thermosphere is a layer of Earth’s atmosphere that is directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. It extends from about 90 km (56 miles) to between 500 and 1, 000 km (311 to 621 miles) above our planet.

Detailed explanation-7: -Earth’s atmosphere is composed of about 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, 0.9 percent argon, and 0.1 percent other gases. Trace amounts of carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and neon are some of the other gases that make up the remaining 0.1 percent.
