Explanation

The stratosphere is the second layer of Earth's atmosphere as you go upwards, lying above the troposphere and below the mesosphere.

The layers of the Earth's atmosphere, in order from the surface, are:

1. Troposphere (up to about 12 km/7.5 miles)
2. Stratosphere (up to about 50 km/31 miles)
3. Mesosphere (up to about 85 km/53 miles)
4. Thermosphere (up to about 600 km/373 miles)

Explanation

Studies show that it takes an average of 8 minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to move from the sun to the earth.

Sunlight moves at the speed of light.

You can see that the distance of the sun from the earth = 149.6 x 106 km.

Photons emitted from the surface of the sun need to traverse the vacuum of the universe to reach our eyes.

Explanation

 A computer program that translates one program's instructions at a time into machine language is called an Interpreter.
