Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

Our atmosphere is mixture of gasses. This gasses cover the Earth by gravitational attraction. Desty of Earth's atmosphere decreases rapidly with attitude. 

About 97 % of all mass present in lower 29km. Atmospheric pressure is maximum at troposphere and minimum at thermosphere. 

Atmosphere is devied into 5 different layer they are

  1. Troposphere
  2. Stratosphere
  3. Mesosphere
  4. Thermosphere 
  5. Exosphere
