What is troposphere?

The lowest layer of the atmosphere of the earth is the troposphere. Most of the mass (about 75-80%) of the atmosphere is in the troposphere.

Most types of clouds are found in the troposphere, and almost all weather occurs within this layer.

The statements regarding the warming of the troposphere that are true include:

• Conduction only warms the shallow layer of air within a few centimeters of the ground

• Atmospheric gases do not readily absorb solar radiation

• Condensation of water vapor plays a role in heating the lower atmosphere.

• Convection distributes heat vertically.

Thus a,c,e,g are the correct statements regarding the warming of the troposphere
