Let’s solve this step by step.
We are asked to label the layers of the atmosphere, starting from the one closest to Earth and going outward. The word box gives us five names: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere.
Here’s how we know the order:
1. The layer right above the Earth (where clouds, rain, and airplanes fly) is called the
Troposphere. That’s the bottom layer — so it goes in the lowest blank space, just above the globe.
2. Above the Troposphere is the
Stratosphere. This is where the ozone layer is. So that goes in the next blank up.
3. Then comes the
Mesosphere — this is where meteors burn up. It’s the third layer from the bottom.
4. Next is the
Thermosphere — very hot, but thin air. Satellites orbit here. Fourth layer up.
5. The outermost layer is the
Exosphere — it fades into space. That goes in the topmost blank.
So, from bottom to top (closest to Earth → farthest):
- Bottom blank (just above Earth): Troposphere
- Second blank: Stratosphere
- Third blank: Mesosphere
- Fourth blank: Thermosphere
- Top blank: Exosphere
Final Answer:
From bottom to top: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere
