Troposphere:
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.
The bottom of the troposphere is at Earth's surface.
Stratosphere:
The stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere.
It is the second layer of the atmosphere as you go upward.
The troposphere, the lowest layer, is right below the stratosphere. ... The lower boundary of the stratosphere is called the tropopause; the upper boundary is called the stratopause.
Mesosphere:
The mesosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The mesosphere is directly above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from about 50 to 85 km (31 to 53 miles) above our planet.
Temperature decreases with height throughout the mesosphere. The coldest temperatures in Earth's atmosphere, about -90° C (-130° F), are found near the top of this layer.
Thermosphere:
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.
Exosphere:
The exosphere is the uppermost region of Earth's atmosphere as it gradually fades into the vacuum of space.
The air in the exosphere is extremely thin - in many ways it is almost the same as the airless void of outer space.
