The word "troposphere" comes from the Greek word "tropos," which means "turning" or "changing." This is because the troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and experiences constant changes in temperature, pressure, and weather patterns.

In which layer is the pressuer the highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure. This is because the troposphere is the layer closest to the Earth's surface. As a result, the air is quite dense in the troposphere. As pressure is directly proportional to density, it means that the atmospheric pressure would be greatest in the troposphere.
