The Earth's atmosphere
The Earth's atmosphere
The troposphere is the lowermost layer of the atmosphere. This is the layer in which all life exists, and where all the weather processes occur. Its upper limit varies from place to place, but it usually extends to about 6 miles (10 km) above the Earth's surface.
