Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In what layer of the atmosphere would you find clouds and weather?
A
troposphere
B
stratosphere
C
mesosphere
D
thermosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The layer above the troposphere is called the stratosphere. Nearly all of the water vapor and dust particles in the atmosphere are in the troposphere. That is why most clouds are found in this lowest layer, too. The bottom of the troposphere, right next to the surface of Earth, is called the “boundary layer".

Detailed explanation-6: -Clouds can form anywhere in the troposphere, and although condensed liquid, they are light enough to float in the air and move from place to place by the wind. Clouds are classified according to appearance and height.

Detailed explanation-7: -Almost all the water vapour in the atmosphere is contained in the troposphere. All weather related phenomena such as formation of clouds, rain, fog, winds and storm takes place in troposphere.
