The troposphere is the lowest layer of the earth's atmosphere and is the one that contains weather and which can support life. Its upper limit is the highest point that the suns heat can cause warm and moist air to reach. This means that the troposphere extends to a much higher altitude in the tropics than near the cooler poles - between 15km (9 miles) to 8km (5 miles). Atmospheric pressure varies from around 1000 kpa (14 pounds per square inch, PSI) at sea level down to about 200 kpa (3psi) at about 10km.

Which atmospheric layer is closest to the earths crust?
troposphere troposphere
Which atmospheric layer has the greatest range of temperature?
The atmospheric layer that has the greatest range of temperature is the troposphere. In the troposphere, water vapor plays a huge role in the fluctuation of temperatures.
Which is earths densest atmospheric layer?
troposphere
In which atmospheric layer does acid rain occur?
Troposphere
What is earth's atmospheric layers is the closest to the earth?
The troposphere.
What gases are found in the atmosphere what gases are found in the troposphere?
About 90% of the atmospheric mass is in the troposphere. You can tell because 90% of the pressure increase occurs in the troposphere. Pressure goes from zero in space to 100 mb at the tropopause to 1000 mb at the surface.
Which atmospheric layer is closest to the earths crust?
troposphere troposphere
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.
What is the atmospheric layer of the troposphere?
FH
Which atmospheric layer has the greatest range of temperature?
The atmospheric layer that has the greatest range of temperature is the troposphere. In the troposphere, water vapor plays a huge role in the fluctuation of temperatures.
What is the atmospheric layer closest to earth?
It is the troposphere
Which is earths densest atmospheric layer?
troposphere
The topmost atmospheric layer is called?
troposphere
Where does the greatest atmospheric pressure occur?
It occurs in the Troposphere because it is closer to earth so the air results in being more thicker and compressed
Which atmospheric layer is dense?
The troposphere is the closest to the Earth and most dense atmospheric layer
What is the pressure range of the troposphere?
Troposphere pressure range is 15 to 17PSI
What is the earth's atmospheric layers is the closest to the earth?
The troposphere.
