The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. It extends from Earth's surface to an average height of about 12 km (7.5 mi; 39,000 ft), although this altitude varies from about 9 km (5.6 mi; 30,000 ft) at the geographic poles to 17 km (11 mi; 56,000 ft) at the Equator, [22] with some variation due
English: Composition diagram showing the evolution/cycles of various elements in Earth's atmosphere. Original subscript: Schematic of chemical and transport processes related to atmospheric composition.
Earth's atmosphere. Lower 4 layers of atmosphere in 3 dimensions as seen diagonally from above. Layers drawn to scale, objects not to scale. Aurorae shown here at bottom of thermosphere can actually form at any altitude of thermosphere.
Diagram of the five primary layers of the Earth's atmosphere (not to scale). From Earth's surface to top of stratosphere (50 km) is slightly less than1% of Earth's radius. Between troposphere & stratosphere is the tropopause.
Diagram showing the five primary layers of the Earth's atmosphere: exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere. The layers are not to scale. The stratosphere (/ ˈ s t r æ t ə ˌ s f ɪər,-t oʊ-/) is the second-lowest layer of the atmosphere of Earth, located above the troposphere and below the mesosphere.
The layers are to scale. From the Earth's surface to the top of the stratosphere (50km) is just under 1% of Earth's radius. The exosphere is a thin, atmosphere-like volume surrounding a planet or natural satellite where molecules are gravitationally bound to that body, but where the density is so low that the molecules are essentially collision ...
