Earth's atmosphere consists of five different layers, the troposphere, stratosphere, mesophere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Troposhere: Contains up to 75% of the Earth Mass. Primarily composed up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. The troposhere also contains 99% of the water vapor in the atmosphere. The troposhere is to 10 miles from the equator and 5-7 miles above the pole. Stratosphere: About 6.2 miles above the ground at middle latitude. Contains little water vapor, so air is very dry. Has all the same gas as troposphere, but very little water vapor and there are small amount of ozone and monoatomic oxygen Mesophere: 31-53 miles above Earth. Little is known about this atmosphere because scientists find it difficult to study this layer. This layer has a high concentration of iron and metal atoms Thermosphere: 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen. 56-321 miles above our planet. Exosphere: Hydrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, and atomic oxygen.
