The correct sequence of different layers of the atmosphere from the surface of the Earth upwards is
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere
Stratosphere, Troposphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Ionosphere
Stratosphere, Troposphere, Mesosphere, Ionosphere

Correct Answer: C — Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Ionosphere
Explanation:
The atmosphere is divided into five layers from Earth's surface upwards: Troposphere (0–18 km) — where all weather changes occur; Stratosphere (18–50 km) — contains the ozone layer; Mesosphere (50–85 km) — temperature drops to about -95°C; Thermosphere (85–500 km) — includes the ionosphere, helps in radio transmission; Exosphere (500–1600 km) — uppermost layer. Note: The Ionosphere is a part of the Thermosphere, not a separate layer above the Mesosphere.
