What is the typical altitude range of the troposphere?

The typical altitude range of the troposphere is recognized as extending from sea level up to about 36,000 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level). The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and is where most of the weather phenomena occur, including clouds, rain, and storms. This layer acts as a boundary between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere above, providing the necessary conditions for life.

In general, the exact altitude at which the troposphere extends can vary depending on geographical location and weather conditions. For instance, it may be higher in the tropics and lower in polar regions, but 36,000 feet is a commonly accepted upper limit for the troposphere in standard conditions. The transition to the next layer, the stratosphere, typically occurs around this altitude, which further supports the correctness of this choice.
