The diagram to the left is an image of the layers of the earth's atmosphere. It shows the approximate height from sea level of the borders between layers, and it includes several vehicles and atmospheric occurrences within those layers as points of reference.
Use the drop-down menus to complete each statement as accurately as possible on the basis of the information provided.
1. The stratosphere makes up most nearly percent of the height of the atmosphere.
2. If the reference objects in the diagram can exist only in the layer in which they are drawn but can appear anywhere within that layer, the closest that a weather balloon and an aurora could come to one another is kilometers.
The stratosphere makes up most nearly___________percent of the height of the atmosphere. Stratosphere starts at 18km and ends at 50km of height. Hence its range is 32 km The range of atmosphere (as depicted) = 800km
So, stratosphere constitutes of \(\frac{32}{800}\)*100% of the Atmosphere = 4%
A. 4 B. 10 C. 32 D. 80
If the reference objects in the diagram can exist only in the layer in which they are drawn but can appear anywhere within that layer, the closest that a weather balloon and an aurora could come to one another is____________kilometers.
The highest a HOT AIR BALLOON can go is 50km The lowest an AURORA can come is 80km.
Could you please explain part-2 of this question? I don't understand why its answer is 30km.

I think I was confused because I had assumed 80km above Stratosphere with the altitude range of 68-148km but it ends at 80km from sea surface with the range of 0-80km. Please correct me if I am wrong.
APram
The lowest aurora can come is 80km above sea level
And the highest balloon can go is 50km above sea level
So the closest will be the lowest level of aurora and highest level of balloon You can check the diagram for the same.
