Answer:  

The atmosphere is composed of five layers, namely troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere, with the layer closest to the surface being thicker than the ones above it.

The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains a portion of the Earth's atmosphere. This layer contains the ozone layer which is characterized by the ability to be able to absorb harmful rays from the Sun. Rock fragments burn up in the mesosphere.

The thermosphere is a layer where space shuttles orbit. The exosphere is characterized by the end of the atmosphere and its emergence into space.

The layers that get warmer as the altitude increases are the stratosphere, thermosphere and exosphere while the layers that get colder as the altitude increases are the troposphere and the mesosphere.
