Sally's weather balloon is currently in the troposphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, where weather events, including clouds and precipitation, occur. It typically extends from the Earth's surface up to about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles), depending on the geographical location and the season. The presence of clouds and rain along with the extreme temperature and high relative humidity indicates that the balloon is indeed in the troposphere.
Sally has sent up a weather balloon and is monitoring the data it is sending back. Currently, it is measuring the temperature as -45 degrees Celsius and 100% relative humidity. Sally suspects it is currently traveling through a cloud that is producing rain. Which level of the atmosphere is Sally's weather balloon currently in
-thermosphere
-mesophere
-stratosphere
-troposphere
