What is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth's surface called?

The layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth's surface is called the troposphere.

What is the second layer of the atmosphere called?

The second layer of the atmosphere is called the stratosphere.

Which layer of the atmosphere contains the ozone layer?

The ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, which is the second layer of Earth's atmosphere.

What is the name of the layer where weather events occur?

The layer where weather events occur is known as the troposphere.

Which layer of the atmosphere is characterized by increasing temperatures with height?

The layer of the atmosphere characterized by increasing temperatures with height is the stratosphere. This temperature increase is due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer, which is located within the stratosphere.

What is the layer where most meteors burn up called?

The layer where most meteors burn up is called the mesosphere. In this layer of Earth's atmosphere, located between the stratosphere and thermosphere, meteors encounter air molecules that cause them to heat up and break apart, creating the fiery streaks we see in the night sky.

Which layer is the highest layer of the atmosphere?

The highest layer of the atmosphere is the exosphere.

What is the layer directly above the mesosphere called?

The layer directly above the mesosphere is called the thermosphere.

What is the main gas that makes up the Earth's atmosphere?

The main gas that makes up the Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen, which constitutes about 78% of the air we breathe.

Which layer of the atmosphere is the thinnest?

The thinnest layer of the atmosphere is the exosphere, which is the outermost layer extending from about 500 kilometers to 10,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface. It is very thin and is where the atmosphere gradually transitions into outer space.
