The correct answer is
Troposphere – Stratosphere - Mesosphere - Ionosphere - Exosphere

Atmosphere Layers Correct Order

Understanding the sequence of atmospheric layers is crucial. This explanation details the correct order starting from the Earth's surface.

Atmospheric Layers Sequence

The primary layers of Earth's atmosphere, ordered from the surface upwards, are:

  1. Troposphere: The layer closest to the Earth, where we live and where weather occurs.
  2. Stratosphere: Above the troposphere, containing the ozone layer which absorbs UV radiation.
  3. Mesosphere: Above the stratosphere, the coldest layer, where most meteors burn up.
  4. Ionosphere: This region, overlapping the Mesosphere and Thermosphere, is characterized by charged particles (ions) important for communication.
  5. Exosphere: The outermost layer, gradually fading into the vacuum of space.

This ordered sequence correctly identifies the atmospheric layers based on their position relative to the Earth's surface.
