A Short Quiz On Layers Of Atmosphere Part II - Quiz

This is a short quiz on the layers of the atmosphere. The earth’s atmosphere is made up of different layers that have their own distinct characteristics. Do you think you understood them and can name them correctly too? Take up this quiz and get to see just how much you know about them all and be one step closure to understanding the planet.

Questions and Answers

1.

What is the first layer of the Earths Atmosphere?
- A.
  
  Disney Land
- B.
  
  The Exosphere
- C.
  
  The Mesosphere
- D.
  
  The Troposphere
- E.
  
  The Stratosphere
Correct Answer
D. The TropospHere

Explanation
The Troposphere is the first layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It is the layer closest to the Earth's surface and extends up to about 8-15 kilometers above the surface. This layer is where weather occurs and where most of the Earth's mass and water vapor are found. It is also where we live and where airplanes fly.

2.

What layer of the Atmosphere does weather occur in?
- A.
  
  The Troposphere
- B.
  
  The Stratosphere
- C.
  
  The Thermosphere
- D.
  
  The Exosphere
- E.
  
  A land far far away...
Correct Answer
A. The TropospHere

Explanation
Weather occurs in the Troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This is where most of the Earth's weather phenomena, such as clouds, rain, snow, and storms, take place. The Troposphere extends from the Earth's surface up to an altitude of about 8-15 kilometers, depending on the location and season. It is characterized by a decrease in temperature with increasing altitude, making it an important layer for weather patterns and atmospheric conditions.

3.

What layer starts at about 90 km (56 miles) above the Earth’s surface, and goes to about 500 – 1,000 km (311 – 621 miles) above the surface of the Earth?
- A.
  
  The Thermosphere
- B.
  
  The United States of America
- C.
  
  The Exosphere
Correct Answer
A. The ThermospHere

Explanation
The correct answer is The Thermosphere. The thermosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that starts at about 90 km (56 miles) above the Earth's surface and extends to about 500 - 1,000 km (311 - 621 miles) above the surface. It is characterized by high temperatures and low air density. This layer is where the International Space Station orbits and where the auroras occur.

What are the names of the Layers of the Atmosphere is order?
- A.
  
  Troposphere, Stratosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere
- B.
  
  Stratosphere, Mesosphere
- C.
  
  Canada, Spain, U.S.A.
- D.
  
  Exosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, Troposphere.
- E.
  
  Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere.
Correct Answer
E. TropospHere, StratospHere, MesospHere, ThermospHere, ExospHere.

Explanation
The correct answer is Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere. This is the correct order of the layers of the atmosphere, starting from the closest to the Earth's surface (troposphere) and extending outwards (exosphere). The troposphere is where weather occurs and contains the majority of the Earth's air mass. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer and protects the Earth from harmful UV radiation. The mesosphere is the layer where meteors burn up upon entry into the atmosphere. The thermosphere is the layer where the auroras occur and is characterized by high temperatures. The exosphere is the outermost layer, blending into space.

5.

What is the layer that is farthest from the surface of the Earth?
- A.
  
  Troposphere
- B.
  
  Exosphere
- C.
  
  Mesosphere
- D.
  
  Thermosphere
- E.
  
  Stratosphere
Correct Answer
B. ExospHere

Explanation
The exosphere is the layer that is farthest from the surface of the Earth. It is the outermost layer of the atmosphere, extending from about 500 kilometers to thousands of kilometers above the Earth's surface. In this layer, the air density is extremely low, and the few particles that are present are very spread out. The exosphere is where Earth's atmosphere gradually merges with outer space.
