Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ozonosphere is a part of atmosphere. That’s why it is not a sphere of the earth. Structure of the atmosphere: The atmosphere is divided into five layers starting from the earth’s surface: Troposphere (0-18 km)

Detailed explanation-2: -The Earth is an Ellipsoid A sphere is a perfectly round 3-dimensional object. Earth is like a big bag of molten lava spinning on its axis. Because of the “bulging” caused by the Earth spinning, the Earth is not completely round, thus, is not a sphere. Instead, we use the term “oblate spheroid, ‘’ or “ellipsoid."
