The atmosphere is composed of five major layers. These layers are, in order from the surface of the earth, troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, ionosphere, and exosphere.

troposphere - lowest layer that provides majority of our weather. contains four-fifths of air on the earth and extends to a maximum height of 11 miles at the equator and lesser height at the poles.

stratosphere - extends to the height of 30 miles from the equator and it's the location of the ozone layer.

mesosphere - extends to the height of 52 miles from the equator and is where meteors generally burn up

ionosphere - extends to the height of 430 miles from the equator and is already considered as part of the outer space. It is where satellites orbit around the world.

exosphere - extends to the height range of 620 miles to 6,214 miles from the Earth's surface and merges with interplanetary space

What happens if we nuke a city?
nignag [31]
The shadow would subsequently drop the temperature in the city, forcing warmer air to rush in and violently destroy countless buildings. There would also be “black rain,” which would be the radioactive ash and dust that would liquify and pour down on the city and we would all die.
