What is the average height of troposphere?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 13 km.

  • Earth's troposphere extends from Earth's surface to, on average, about 13 kilometers in height, with its height lower at Earth's poles and higher at the equator.
  • The height of the top of the troposphere varies with latitude (it is lowest over the poles and highest at the equator) and by season (it is lower in winter and higher in summer).
