convex lens


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.

farthest from the surface

hottest

closest to the surface


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface.
