5. thermosphere layer

We will briefly talk about each of them

The first, layer, the troposphere:

Its thickness reaches 11 km

It is the layer in which all weather disturbances occur and is responsible for all
weather conditions

It contains a large amount of water vapor and contains 75% of the mass of the air
that makes up the atmosphere

It contains the most important gases necessary for life, such as oxygen and carbon
dioxide

The second layer is the stratosphere

Above the troposphere layer, there is a separating layer between them, the
tropopause

The thickness of the stratosphere is up to 50 km

It is called the ozone layer, as it is the layer in which ozone gas is collected and
generated

For information, ozone gas is very important because it protects the environment
and life on Earth from the danger of ultraviolet rays because it absorbs them.

The third layer is the mesosphere

It above the stratosphere

Its thickness is about 30 km

It’s very called layer about 100 degrees Celsius below zero

This layer protects the earth from meteors, as the meteors burn in it and turn into
ash before entering the earth

The fourth layer is the ionosphere
