Which layer lies directly above the troposphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stratosphere
The governing concept is the sequence of atmospheric layers by altitude. Starting from Earth’s surface, the order is troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Thus the layer immediately above the troposphere is the stratosphere, making option A correct. Mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere are progressively higher, so they cannot be the direct next layer.
