The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The temperature in the troposphere goes down as you go higher.
Weather occurs in the Earth's troposphere.

The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The air is very
well mixed and the temperature decreases with altitude.
Air in the troposphere is heated from the ground up. The surface of the
Earth absorbs energy and heats up faster than the air does. The heat is
spread through the troposphere because the air is slightly unstable.

The troposphere is the lowest region of the Earth's atmosphere, where masses of air are very well mixed together and the temperature decreases with altitude.
The air is heated from the ground up because the surface of the Earth absorbs energy and heats up faster than the air. The heat is mixed through the troposphere because on average the atmosphere in this layer is slightly unstable.
Weather occurs in the Earth's troposphere. In fact, most clouds form in this layer.
