Answer:

TROPOSPHERE

Step-by-step explanation:

The troposphere is the atmospheric layer closest to the planet and contains the largest percentage (around 80%) of the mass of the total atmosphere. Temperature and water vapor content in the troposphere decrease rapidly with altitude.

Answer:

The tropospheric temperature only decreases from an average of 0°C (32°F) at sea level to about −45°C (−49°F) at the tropopause. At the equator, tropospheric temperatures decrease from an average of 20°C (68°F) at sea level to about −70°C to −75°C (−94 to −103°F) at the tropopause.
