Question

Which of the given layer of the atmosphere has the lowest density?

A.

Ionosphere

B.

Exosphere

C.

Stratosphere

D.

Mesosphere

Correct option is B

​The correct answer is (b) Exosphere.​

  • The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending from about 600 km above Earth's surface to around 10,000 km or more.
  • This layer contains extremely sparse gases, primarily hydrogen and helium.
  • The density of air molecules in this layer is the lowest compared to all other atmospheric layers.

Information Booster:

  • Ionosphere : Part of the thermosphere and mesosphere, it contains ionized particles and has a higher density than the exosphere.
  • Stratosphere : A denser layer than the exosphere, located closer to Earth (10-50 km altitude). It contains ozone and supports jet streams.
  • Mesosphere : Found above the stratosphere (50-85 km altitude), it is denser than the exosphere but thinner than the troposphere and stratosphere.
