Some do. Mostly they are the supersonic long distant flyers that have a long ways to go.

Otherwise there is little reason to waste all that fuel to go so high.

The top of the troposphere is quite cold (around -55°C) and the air gets thinner as you go higher up, that's why mountain climbers sometimes need bottled oxygen to breathe.

Is the upper stratosphere colder then the lower stratosphere?

Yes, the upper stratosphere is colder than the lower stratosphere. This is because the stratosphere is heated from below by the Earth's surface, so as you move higher in the atmosphere, the temperature decreases. The temperature inversion between the lower and upper stratosphere is due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone in the upper stratosphere.

Does the density in the mesosphere go up or down?

The density of the mesosphere is lower than the density of the trophosphere or stratosphere. As you go higher into the atmosphere, the density decreases.


How does ozone in the troposphere differ from ozone in the stratosphere?

In the troposphere, plants and animals can be harmed, but in the stratosphere, there is no life because in the troposphere is closest to earth n the air u breath is part of the troposphere. and in the stratosphere the air can affect your lungs
