This Universe is just like a coconut fruit with seven layered outer coverings.Every layer is made with distinct material substance.
Can anyone tell me the names of those substances from which the respective layer is formed and the measurement of breadth that every layer posses.

The universe is also covered with mind intelligence and false ego beyond the 5 gross coverings.
Hare Krishna,
The coverings of the universes are also constituted of the elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether, and each is ten times thicker than the one before. The first covering of the universe is earth, and it is ten times thicker than the universe itself. If the universe is four billion miles in size, then the size of the earthly covering of the universe is four billion times ten. The covering of water is ten times greater than the earthly covering, the covering of fire is ten times greater than the watery covering, the covering of air is ten times greater than that of the fire, the covering of ether is ten times greater still than that of air, and so on. The universe within the coverings of matter appears to be like an atom in comparison to the coverings, and the number of universes is unknown even to those who can estimate the coverings of the universes. (SB 3.11.41 Purport)

and it is because conditioned souls could not be able to move out of particular universe.
Even that souls which is in body made of intelligence can not go out. But only spiritual soul can go out. Because of that while by chanting the Holy Names, Holy Names remove all our karma - pious, impious.
