Explain ‘troposphere’.
✓

Answer

  1. The layer of air that extends from the earth’s surface to a height of about 13 km is called the troposphere.
  2. The conditions in the troposphere change continuously. As this layer touches the surface of the earth, the living world gets greatly affected.
  3. As we go higher in the troposphere, the air gets cooler and rarer.
  4. Almost all the water vapour in the atmosphere is contained in the troposphere. That is why, all weather-related phenomena such as formation of clouds, rain, fog, winds and storms takes place in troposphere.
