| What is the troposphere | The layer next to the ground or surface of the earth |
| What is the stratosphere | The layer of our atmosphere containing the ozone layer |
| What is the mesosphere | The middle layer of our atmosphere |
| True or false Meteors don’t burn upon entry in the Mesosphere | False |
| What is the thermosphere | Means heat and the temperature in this layer can reach up to 4000f |
