Troposphere (5 – 9 Miles Thick) The troposphere is the layer closest to Earth's surface and is what most of us are probably imagining when we talk about the atmosphere.

The stratosphere begins above the troposphere and extends approximately 31 miles (50 km) high. According to NIWA, most of the ozone found in Earth's atmosphere is in the stratosphere.
