In the troposphere, temperature decreases with height due to decreasing atmospheric pressure and density. In the stratosphere, temperature increases with height because of the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. The mesosphere sees a temperature decrease with height again, while in the thermosphere, temperatures rise significantly due to solar radiation absorption. Finally, in the exosphere, temperatures are less meaningful as particles are sparse, but they can reach extremely high values due to the low density of particles.
In the troposphere, temperature decreases with height due to the decreasing pressure and density of air. In the stratosphere, temperature increases with height because of the absorption of UV radiation by the ozone layer. The mesosphere sees a temperature decrease with altitude again, while in the thermosphere, temperatures rise significantly due to the absorption of high-energy solar radiation. Finally, in the exosphere, temperatures can be extremely high, but the concept of temperature is less meaningful due to the very low density of particles.
The stratosphere is where the temperature increases with height. This is due to absorption of UV radiation by atmospheric ozone.
There are four layers of the atmosphere. At the ground is the troposphere, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Temperature decreases with height through the troposphere, increases in the stratosphere, decreases in the mesosphere, then increases again in the thermosphere.
