The correct Answer is:
To determine the atmosphere between the heights of 10 to 50 kilometers above sea level, we need to analyze the different layers of the Earth's atmosphere based on their altitudes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Layers of the Atmosphere**: The Earth's atmosphere is divided into several layers based on altitude. The main layers are: - Troposphere: 0 to 10 kilometers - Stratosphere: 10 to 50 kilometers - Mesosphere: 50 to 85 kilometers - Thermosphere/Ionosphere: Above 85 kilometers 2. **Identifying the Relevant Layers**: - From 0 to 10 kilometers, we have the troposphere. - From 10 to 50 kilometers, we have the stratosphere. - From 50 kilometers onwards, we enter the mesosphere. 3. **Determining the Correct Layer for the Given Altitude**: Since the question specifically asks for the atmosphere between the heights of 10 to 50 kilometers, we can see that this range falls entirely within the stratosphere. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the atmosphere between the heights of 10 to 50 kilometers above sea level is the **stratosphere**. ### Final Answer: The atmosphere between the heights of 10 to 50 kilometers above sea level is the **stratosphere**. ---
