Question

Write down the difference between Troposphere and Thermosphere.

Hint:

Remember the order and key features of atmospheric layers. The Troposphere has weather, while the Thermosphere reflects radio waves.

Answer 1

Troposphere: 1. The lowest layer of the atmosphere (0–12 km). 2. Contains most of the Earth’s weather phenomena. 3. Temperature decreases with altitude.

Thermosphere: 1. Extends from approximately 80 km to 500 km above the surface. 2. Contains ionized particles and reflects radio waves. 3. Temperature increases with altitude due to solar radiation.
