A. Layer A is the troposphere and Layer B is thermosphere

Explanation:

The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. THis is where all life life resides and where weather occurs as well. It contains the air we breathe. As we go higher in the troposphere, the temperature goes down.

The thermosphere is part of our atmosphere but it is very high up and considered to be part of outerspace as well. It is heated up by the UV rays and X-rays that it absorbs.
