The Atmosphere of Earth is a little complicated. There are five main layers in total. The first one is the troposhere. This is where we and the other living things live. Most clouds are in the troposphere. Above the troposphere is the stratosphere. Airplanes usually fly inbetween the troposphere and stratosphere. Inside the stratosphere, there is a layer called the ozone layer. Next is the mesosphere, the layer that protects us from meteor strikes. It burns up meteors so they won't do as much damage as normal. The layer above that is the thermosphere. The aurora borealis is found here. That is the stream of lights found at the poles. Finally, the last layer is the exosphere. This is where our satellites are found, orbiting Earth.
