Hi, I understand that the troposphere includes the biosphere..
In my textbook ir writes that, the troposphere is the region in which we live. Weather changes take place in this layer.
And as for the biosphere, i went to define it in Google and got this:
the regions of the surface and atmosphere of the Earth (or other planet) where living organisms exist
What is the difference then?

Glick is a planet in a solar system very similar to our own. Planet Glick is very similar to Earth except for the following differences. Glick’s axis of rotation has no tilt. It rotates from east to west, approximately twice as fast as Earth. Zelda is a star that is visible directly over Glick’s South Pole and Glotch is a star visible directly over Glick’s North Pole. A latitude-longitude system such as that on Earth has been established for Glick.
1. Why would a plastic relief replica of a continent on Glick be considered a model?
2. In relationship to Glick’s atmosphere and lithosphere, what would be the relative location of its hydrosphere?
3. At a certain location on Glick, the star Zelda is observed at 37 degrees above the horizon. From this information, what conclusion can you draw about the latitude and longitude of this location?
Also if you can please explain your answers.
