The mantle is the part of the Earth's layers that is approximately 2300 km thick. It lies between the crust and the outer core and is composed of solid rock that flows over long periods of time, causing tectonic plate movement.

Troposphere and stratosphere are the minor layers of Earth's atmosphere. The troposphere is where weather occurs, and it is the closest to the Earth. The stratosphere is the second closest and where planes fly. It is 40 kilometers thick, and the troposphere is 12 kilometers thick.
The five layers of the Earth's atmosphere are within the Earth, as part of the planet's atmosphere. These layers include the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
The lithosphere is the part of Earth's structure that is about 100 km thick. It includes the outermost layer of the Earth, including both the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
The part of the Earth that is about 3500 km thick is the mantle. The mantle is located between the Earth's crust and core and is composed of molten rock material that flows slowly over time due to the intense heat and pressure.
The earth's layers can be compared to the layers of an apple. The outer skin corresponds to the Earth's crust, the fleshy part to the mantle, and the inner core to the core of the apple.
