Well you have to specify which part of the lithosphere you are looking at since continental is thicker than oceanic. Continental is about 150 km thick. Oceanic is about 100 km thick (these are averages).
The hydrosphere is on average about 3.8 km thick.
The atmosphere is broken up into several layers and averages about 100km...or rather this line marks the (albeit fuzzy) edge between the atmosphere and outer space, but some project it to 120 km.
So if you're comparing the continental lithosphere to the atmosphere then the continental lithosphere is thicker. If you are comparing oceanic lithosphere to the atmosphere you can say the atmosphere is thicker if you are using the 120km figure.
