      D Thermosphere Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending from the surface to approximately 8-15 km, depending on latitude. This layer contains approximately 75% of the atmosphere's mass and 99% of its water vapor and aerosols. The troposphere is where most weather phenomena occur. Above the troposphere lie the stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere, in ascending order.
