Which is the outermost layer of the atmosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Exosphere
The exosphere is the outermost recognized layer of Earth’s atmosphere. It contains extremely sparse particles, and its upper limit is not sharply defined because the gas gradually becomes indistinguishable from outer space. The troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere are successively lower layers. Therefore, the layer extending farthest from Earth is the exosphere, making option C correct.
