The layer of atmosphere between \( 10 \mathrm{km} \) to \( 50 k m \) above the sea level is called as:
- A. troposphere
- B. mesosphere
- C. stratosphere
- D. thermosphere
Step-by-step solution
The Earth's atmosphere is divided into layers: troposphere (0-12 km), stratosphere (12-50 km), mesosphere (50-80 km), and thermosphere (above 80 km). The range 10-50 km lies primarily in the stratosphere, which extends from about 12 km to 50 km. Thus, the correct answer is stratosphere.
