A. troposphere > stratosphere > mesosphere > thermosphere > exosphere
B. thermosphere> troposphere> mesosphere> stratosphere> exosphere
C. exosphere > troposphere > thermosphere > mesosphere > stratosphere
D. mesosphere thermosphere troposphere > exosphere > stratosphere
Answer: A. troposphere > stratosphere > mesosphere > thermosphere > exosphere
Explanation :
The layers of the atmosphere in order from lowest to highest are:
Troposphere (0-10 km)
Stratosphere (1-60 km)
Mesosphere (60-85 km)
Thermosphere (85-800 km)
Exosphere (above 800 km)
The atmosphere is the layer of air above the earth’s surface. The atmosphere is composed of gases such as nitrogen (75%), oxygen (21%) and other gases. The atmosphere consists of several layers namely Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere.
Troposphere Lapisan
the first and lowest layer of the atmosphere. This layer has a height of up to an altitude of 10 km from the earth’s surface. This layer makes up 75% of the air mass in the atmosphere. In this layer, weather phenomena such as clouds, lightning and rain occur.
Stratosphere Lapisan
layer above the troposphere. This stratosphere layer is located 12-60 km from the earth’s surface and is where the ozone layer filters ultraviolet light.
Mesosphere Layer
above the stratosphere, at an altitude of 60 km to 85 km. This layer is very cold, up to -90 ° C. In this layer, meteors that enter the earth burn due to friction with air molecules.
The Thermosphere (Ionosphere)
located above the mesosphere, at an altitude of up to 800 km from the earth’s surface. In this layer there is ionization of air particles by solar radiation. The thermosphere is where the satellites orbit around the earth.
Exosphere Layer
at an altitude above 800 km, is the outermost layer of the atmosphere and borders the vacuum of outer space.
