The correct sequence of different layers of the atmosphere from the surface of the Earth upwards is
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.
