Troposphere - Wikipedia
The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere of Earth. It contains 75% of the total mass of the planetary atmosphere and 99% of the total mass of water vapor and aerosols, and is where most weather phenomena occur. [1] .

Troposphere | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
The troposphere is the innermost layer of Earth’s atmosphere. The layer we call home. Closest to the surface of Earth, we have the troposphere. “Tropos” means change. This layer gets its name from the weather that is constantly changing and mixing up the gases in this part of our atmosphere.

The Troposphere | Center for Science Education
Learn More. The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. Most of the mass (about 75-80%) of the atmosphere is in the troposphere. Most types of clouds are found in the troposphere, and almost all weather occurs within this layer.

Atmosphere - Weather, Air Pollution, Climate | Britannica
The layers of Earth's atmosphere, with a yellow line showing the air temperature at various heights. The lowest portion of the atmosphere is the troposphere, a layer where temperature generally decreases with height. This layer contains most of Earth’s clouds and is the location where weather primarily occurs.

Troposphere | Weather, Climate Change & Air Pollution
Troposphere, lowest region of the atmosphere, bounded by the Earth beneath and the stratosphere above, with its upper boundary being the tropopause, about 10–18 km (6–11 miles) above the Earth’s surface. The troposphere is characterized by decreasing temperature with height and is distinguished.

Layers of Earth's Atmosphere | Center for Science Education
Troposphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of our atmosphere. Starting at ground level, it extends upward to about 10 km (6.2 miles or about 33,000 feet) above sea level. We humans live in the troposphere, and nearly all weather occurs in this lowest layer.

What Is the Troposphere? - Earth How
What Is the Troposphere? The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. It extends to about 20 km (12 miles) above the Earth’s surface. The air pressure in this layer decreases as altitude increases. This causes the troposphere to have a significant influence on weather conditions.

Earth's atmosphere (article) | Khan Academy
Troposphere: The troposphere is the layer closest to Earth. It is the densest layer (i.e., contains the most air particles), and is where most of Earth’s weather and cloud formation occurs. The troposphere is heated primarily by energy from the sun radiating off the Earth’s surface.
