Q

explain what your seeing as you go up threw all the layers

A

while i was traveling through the troposphere i saw the world seem smaller and the cars seem like moving dots then i’d see the white from all the clouds, when i enter the stratosphere i would be moving around a lot because it has very fast moving winds and it would be very bright because of the uv index, when i enter the mesosphere i would see very unique clouds and a lot of shooting stars, then when i enter the thermosphere some people would say i was in space and could see the northern lights and southern lights and would see the international space station.
