Troposphere

The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere, extending from the surface to an altitude of around 8 to 15 kilometers depending on latitude and weather conditions. It contains most of the atmosphere’s mass, water vapor and clouds, and is the layer where weather processes occur. The troposphere is closely linked to climate systems, air pollution, greenhouse gases and atmospheric circulation.
