Best Answer

The troposhere is about 7 miles high.

Different articles mention different numbers, but it generally comes down to a difference in latitude.

It ranges between an altitude of 8-18 kilometres.

It is higher near the equator and lower near the poles.

Volume of the Earth. 4 x ¶(6378.15)3 /3 = 10.8687 x 1020 m3

Radius from the centre of the Earth to the top of the troposphere:

= 6378.15 + 16 = 6394.15 km

Volume to the top of the troposphere.

4 x ¶(6394.15)3 /3 = 10.9506 x 1020 m3

Volume of the troposphere.

[10.9506 - 10.8687 ] x1020 m3 = 8.14 x 1018 m3

Assuming the density of the air is constant throughout the volume (the density is not constant as it decreases rapidly with height; it is 1.225 kg/m3 on the Earth's surface and 0.1654 kg/m3 at the top of the troposphere, 16 km):

Troposphereextends between 10 and 18 kilometers above the surface of the Earthand consists of many layers. Ozone is more concentrated above the mixing layer, or ground layer. Ground-level ozone, though less concentrated than ozone aloft, is more of a problem because of its

health effects.

The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere.
The troposphere is the lowest layer.! And the reason we have air is because of the atmosphere

What is the height of the stratosphere?

Pretending that the earth and its atmosphere are perfectly spherical and not elliptical, we can calculate the approximate volume of the stratosphere. The radius of the Earth is roughly 6,378.1 km. The troposphere, which lies below the stratosphere is around 18 km at its highest height. The stratosphere extends to around 42 km above the troposphere. Finding the difference between the volume of the earth including the atmosphere and the earth up to the troposphere gives the approximate volume of the stratosphere. It is approximately 22 thousand million kiloliters.
