57% Answer Correctly

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere


Solution

The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.
