The reason the temperature increases with increasing altitude is because of what temperature is measured by: the speed of molecules. In the stratosphere, there is very little gas, and molecules can move very quickly because they are not bouncing off of each other (and other factors). Therefore, by the strict definition of 'temperature', the stratosphere is hotter.
However, due to the low amount of gas at that level of the atmosphere, if YOU were to be there (with a gas mask) you would feel terribly cold (aside from feeling like you're being sucked apart by the partial vacuum). The reason for this is that though the 'temperature' is high, there are very very few molecules flying around bouncing into you and warming you. Therefore your body would receive very little heat from the surroundings--BUT you would radiate away a bunch of heat, causing you to be very very cold very quickly. That is also why astronauts need to be careful about the 'cold temperature' of space. But that's a different story.
The stratosphere's temperature increases as altitude increases. The mesosphere's temperature decreases as it's altitude increases. This is helpful
No, the temperature in the troposphere decreases as the altitude increases.
The temperature decreases with altitude.
The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.
The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere (where we live). The ozone layer is found in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere is the lowest layer where temperature increases with increasing altitude.
The temperature increases like the stratosphere

In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with height. This is due to the presence of the ozone layer near the top of the stratosphere. The ozone layer absorbs incoming UV radiation, and thus the temperatures are warmer at the top of the stratosphere than at the bottom.
the temperature already rise as you climb up in the stratosphere.
As we go up in height, altitude increases. Thus the altitude increases.
Temperature reaches its coldest at the tropopause, which is the boundary between the troposphere below and the stratosphere above. In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with height due to absorption of radiation by ozone.Temperature changes when altitude is in the stratosphere because of one things. It already rises when you climb up in the stratosphere.
For most purposes, it is the point at which temperature begins to increase with altitude.
The altitude rises.
Jet Stream The main jet streams are located near the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with altitude) and the stratosphere(where temperature increases with altitude)

No, the temperature does not increase in fact it decreases as the altitude increases yes it does.
