Layers of The Atmosphere Quiz

The document is a quiz about the layers of the atmosphere from bottom to top. It asks questions to test knowledge of the order of layers, their properties, and key features. The layers from lowest to highest are: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The troposphere contains virtually all weather and is where rain occurs. The stratosphere contains the protective ozone layer. Auroras occur in the thermosphere and it is the highest layer.
