Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What layer of the atmosphere does weather occur?
A
stratosphere
B
thermosphere
C
troposphere
D
mesosphere
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The layer we call home Closest to the surface of Earth, we have the troposphere. “Tropos” means change. This layer gets its name from the weather that is constantly changing and mixing up the gases in this part of our atmosphere.

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: -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-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.

Detailed explanation-6: -Answer and Explanation: All weather occurs in the troposphere because it has a gradient of temperature and water vapor, gases and particulate matter accumulate in this layer. The troposphere contains most of the mass of the atmosphere, around 80%.

Detailed explanation-7: -The thermosphere has weather and climate akin to that observed at the Earth’s surface. There are periods, typically of a few days, when the weather is relatively quiescent, and other times with storms, the origin of which can be traced back to disturbances on the Sun.
