This statement is false!

Around 90% of all the ozone contained in the atmosphere is accumulated in the stratosphere - this area is also called the ozone layer due to the high concentration of ozone.

Troposphere is below the stratosphere, and it's the one that's closest to the earth.

Yes that is true because The troposphere is the atmospheric layer closest to the planet and contains the largest percentage (around 80%) of the mass of the total atmosphere. Temperature and water vapor content in the troposphere decrease rapidly with altitude. Water vapor plays a major role in regulating air temperature because it absorbs solar energy and thermal radiation from the planet's surface. The troposphere contains 99 % of the water vapor in the atmosphere. Water vapor concentrations vary with latitude. They are greatest above the tropics, where they may be as high as 3 %, and decrease toward the polar regions.
