Ilmakerros refers to the layered structure of the Earth's atmosphere. This layering is primarily determined by temperature changes with altitude. The lowest layer is the troposphere, where temperature generally decreases with height. This is where most weather phenomena occur. Above the troposphere is the stratosphere, where temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. Following the stratosphere is the mesosphere, where temperatures decrease again with increasing altitude. The thermosphere is above the mesosphere, and here temperatures rise dramatically due to absorption of high-energy solar radiation, though the air is extremely thin. Finally, the exosphere is the outermost layer, where the atmosphere gradually fades into space. The boundaries between these layers are called pauses, such as the tropopause, stratopause, and mesopause. These distinct layers have different properties that influence everything from weather patterns to the propagation of radio waves.
