tropospheres
Weather's home layers
Tropospheres is the plural of troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending roughly six to twelve miles above the surface.
This is where weather occurs and where we live and breathe.
The word appears in plural when comparing different planetary atmospheres or discussing regional variations: The tropospheres of Earth and Venus differ dramatically in composition.
