What is found in the troposphere?

short answer- troposphere lowest layer of atmosphere, , extends 5 miles. in troposphere, of earth's weather located. layer contains 75% of atmosphere. water vapor , moisture found here.

long answer- troposphere denser layers of atmosphere above (because of weight compressing it), , contains 75% of mass of atmosphere. composed of nitrogen (78%) , oxygen (21%) small concentrations of other trace gases. atmospheric water vapour or moisture found in troposphere.

troposphere layer of world's weather takes place. since temperature decreases altitude in troposphere, warm air near surface of earth can readily rise, being less dense colder air above it. in fact air molecules can travel top of troposphere , down again in few days. such vertical movement or convection of air generates clouds , rain moisture within air, , gives rise of weather experience. troposphere capped tropopause, region of stable temperature. air temperature begins rise in stratosphere. such temperature increase prevents air convection beyond tropopause, , consequently weather phenomena, including towering cumulonimbus thunderclouds, confined troposphere.
