Explanation:
We need to list the layers of Earth’s atmosphere
from bottom to top (i.e., starting closest to Earth’s surface and going upward into space).
Here are the five main layers, in order from the ground upward:
1.
Troposphere – This is where we live and where weather happens. It’s the lowest layer.
2.
Stratosphere – Above the troposphere; contains the ozone layer.
3.
Mesosphere – Where meteors burn up (“shooting stars”).
4.
Thermosphere – Very hot layer; auroras happen here; the International Space Station orbits in this layer.
5.
Exosphere – The outermost layer, fading into space.
So the correct order (bottom → top) is:
Troposphere → Stratosphere → Mesosphere → Thermosphere → Exosphere
Now, looking at the worksheet: there are 5 blank boxes above Earth, and we need to label them from bottom (closest to Earth) to top (farthest). That means:
- Bottom box (1st): Troposphere
- 2nd: Stratosphere
- 3rd: Mesosphere
- 4th: Thermosphere
- Top box (5th): Exosphere
Let’s double-check:
✔ Troposphere — yes, lowest
✔ Stratosphere — above troposphere
✔ Mesosphere — above stratosphere
✔ Thermosphere — above mesosphere
✔ Exosphere — highest, merges with space
All correct.
Final Answer:
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere
