    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.
