Use an arrow to match or write the layer of the atmosphere to the correct location on the diagram of the full atmosphere. Match the following layers to their correct altitude on the diagram going from lowest to highest:

• 12 KM (39000 FT)

• Thermosphere

• 50 Km (1640000 FT)

• Stratosphere

• 0 KM 0 FT

• Troposphere

• 80 KM (262000 FT)

• Mesosphere

This is the largest layer of the atmosphere from 80 km to 560 km where the air is very thin and the temperature is very hot.

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

This layer of the atmosphere means “middle layer” and is the layer that meteoroids burn up.

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

This is the second layer of the atmosphere that contains a thin layer of ozone that absorbs energy from the sun.

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere
