STRUCTURE OF THE ATMOSPHERE 
From the earth’s surface upwards, there 
is a change in temperature. Based on the 
change in temperature the atmosphere 
has been divided in to different layers. 
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, 
Thermosphere.
TROPOSPHERE 
According to the latitude and seasons, 
the height of the troposphere varies. The 
word troposphere is derived from the 
Greek word ‘tropos’ which means to 
turn. Air is very turbulent in this region. 
Above the troposphere is the tropopause 
where the temperature is steady.
STRATOSPHERE 
In the lower part of stratosphere the 
temperature is constant. This means that 
as the height increases, the temperature 
does not very. The transactional zone 
above the stratosphere is stratopause.
MESOSPHERE 
The atmospheric layer that extends from 
50 km to 80 km above the sea level is 
mesosphere. Te transitional zone above 
this where the temperature remains 
steady is called the mesopause.
THERMOSPHERE 
This is an area where the temperature 
increases abruptly. The part of the 
thermosphere, from about 80 kilometers 
to 400 kilometers, above the earth 
surface is called ionosphere.
