The first level, called troposphere, is the nearest to the Earth, about 11 km thick. Most clouds and weather are found in this layer. Next is the stratosphere which is about 11 -48 km above the Earth's surface. In it is the ozone layer which absorbs most of the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The mesosphere is above the stratosphere in which the atmosphere is very rarefied, and the temperature decreases with altitude. The fourth layer is the thermosphere which starts at about 55 km. The temperature, which maybe a thousand degrees high, is so hot that it cannot be measured by the thermometer. The second to the last is the exosphere, the region beyond the thermosphere, Finally, the ionosphere overlaps the other layers from above the Earth. The air is ionized by the Sun's ultraviolet rays. These ionized layers affect the transmittance and reflectance of radio waves. All in all, there are six levels of the Earth's atmosphere. n replace es of won asy for a d if thing er than can 1.
