This is the ozone layer, which is spread out through parts of the stratosphere. It protects the surface from ultraviolet radiation, though some still passes through. Without it, life would not be able to exist as it does now.

What will be the effect on radiation received at earths surface of a decrease of ozone in the stratosphere?

Decrease of ozone in the stratosphere could cause UV to enter the surface. These could cause skin cancer and the immune system to weak.

What is the atmospheric layers in order from farthest away from the earths surface to the closest to the earths surface?

The atmospheric layers in order from farthest away from the Earth's surface to the closest are the exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere. Each layer has its own characteristics and plays a role in Earth's climate and weather patterns.

As distance from earths surface increases the temperature of the stratosphere does what?

As distance from the Earth's surface increases, the temperature of the stratosphere generally increases. This warming occurs because the stratosphere contains the ozone layer, which absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, leading to an increase in temperature with altitude. In contrast, the troposphere, which is the layer below the stratosphere, experiences a decrease in temperature with altitude.
