Which among the following is the correct sequence of the various layers of the Atmosphere from the Earth's surface?

Correct answer: C. Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Ionosphere

  • A. Ionosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, Troposphere
  • B. Mesosphere, Stratosphere, Ionosphere, Troposphere
  • C. Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Ionosphere
  • D. Troposphere, Ionosphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere

Explanation

The commonly taught order upward is troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and then the ionosphere region. The ionosphere is not a sharply separate layer because it overlaps mainly with the upper atmosphere, but option c gives the intended sequence.
