Answer:

C. The troposphere is much warmer than the stratosphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

The atmosphere, which comprises of all the gases on the Earth, consists of five different layers namely: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. The TROPOSPHERE is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, followed by the STRATOSPHERE.

The troposphere differs from the stratosphere in the sense that:

- The troposphere is much warmer than the stratosphere

- The stratosphere contains majority of the ozone, hence, it it termed OZONE LAYER.

- The stratosphere has a lower air pressure and density than the troposphere.

- The troposphere contains more moisture (relative humidity) than the stratosphere.
