Where is the troposphere located?
Quick Answer
The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere, starting at the surface and reaching about 8 to 18 kilometers high. Most weather happens there.
The Full Story
The troposphere is the atmospheric layer closest to Earth’s surface. It extends from the ground up to roughly 8 kilometers at the poles and up to about 18 kilometers near the equator. Almost all clouds, rain, snow, and storms occur in this layer because it contains most of the atmosphere’s water vapor. The temperature generally decreases with height in the troposphere.
