प्रश्न
What is the difference between the troposphere and the tropopause?
उत्तर
The lowest layer of the atmosphere is called the troposphere. The boundary layer between the troposphere and the stratosphere is called the tropopause.
The troposphere is the layer where we live, where all weather is found. It has water vapor and clouds. The thickness of the troposphere depends upon a number of atmospheric variables at latitude. The troposphere ranges from a thickness of approximately 5.5 mi (9 km) in the polar regions, to a thickness of approximately 10 mi (16 km) in equatorial regions
The tropopause is the boundary layer in the Earth's atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere. It is a thermodynamic gradient stratification layer, marking the end of the troposphere. It lies, on average, at 17 kilometers (11 mi) above equatorial regions, and about 9 kilometers (5.6 mi) over the polar regions.

Discuss the importance of the different layers of the atmosphere?
We often leave the lights switched on and fans running when we are not in the room. We switch on the air-conditioning even though we don’t really need it. We insist on being dropped to school in the car every day. Thus, we waste valuable energy which is generally produced by burning coal and petroleum. As you know, the burning of these fuels release gases that pollute the atmosphere.
Make a list of the similar things that we do without realizing that we are destroying the environment. Think of the ways that we can behave differently.
