As a jet ascends from Earth's surface into the stratosphere, the exterior temperature typically decreases initially due to the troposphere's temperature gradient, which generally cools with altitude. However, once the jet reaches the stratosphere, the temperature begins to stabilize and can even increase slightly with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. This transition leads to a more stable temperature profile in the stratosphere compared to the cooler, turbulent conditions of the troposphere.
Mercury has an average surface temperature (67°) closest to the Earths average surface temperature (14°C). The temperature on Mercury varies a lot though - you could argue that Mars is closer in temperature.
The sun is much hotter than the Earth's crust. The temperature at the Earth's core is estimated to be around 5700 degrees Celsius, whereas the temperature at the surface of the sun is about 5500 degrees Celsius.
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.

The upper layers of the atmosphere are heated from above, while the lower layers are heated from below, because infrared radiation is given off by the Earth's surface in response to solar heating. The lower troposphere (with its denser molecules and water vapor) receives heat from both re-radiation and convection. The result is that while the atmosphere always gets thinner with altitude, the temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere, then increases with altitude in the stratosphere. The very high temperatures in the thermosphere are moot because of the low specific heat (energy capacity) of the tenuous gases there.
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.
No. the layer that actually reaches the surface is the troposphere.
Stratosphere is the layer of atmosphere which contains the ozone. The ozone is located as the ozone layer.

The stratosphere is located between 8 to 32 miles above the surface of earth. It contains abundance of ozone molecules.

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

Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere - layers of the atmosphere :)
The stratosphere's upper limit is about 20 miles above sea level.
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.
