– The Mesosphere is above the stratosphere, where most meteors burn up.
– The Thermosphere is the outermost layer, where temperature rises sharply due to absorption of high-energy radiation, but it’s not the primary layer for absorbing harmful UV-B/C.
– The Troposphere is the lowest layer, where weather occurs, and it absorbs very little UV radiation.
