Most weather occurs in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This layer extends from the surface up to about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) high, depending on the location and weather conditions. The troposphere contains the majority of the atmosphere's mass, including water vapor, which is essential for cloud formation and precipitation. As a result, it is where we experience the majority of atmospheric phenomena such as rain, snow, and storms.
