Why is the exosphere called the outermost layer of the atmosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it gradually merges into space
The exosphere is the highest recognised atmospheric layer. Its gas particles are extremely widely spaced, and the atmosphere gradually becomes indistinguishable from the surrounding outer space rather than ending at a sharp physical wall. Rainfall and abundant water vapour belong mainly to the lower atmosphere, while the exosphere is far above Earth’s surface. Therefore, option A is correct.
