The term was first coined in 1901 in Germany and was a geological term for part of the Earth's crust. This use is now obsolete. In 1909 French meteorologist Léon-Philippe Teisserenc de Bort coined the term from the Latin word stratus, meaning "spreading out" and -sphere from atmosphere.

What is the name for the coldest point in the atmosphere?
The coldest point in the atmosphere is known as the tropopause. This boundary separates the troposphere and the stratosphere, and temperatures can drop significantly as you move higher into the stratosphere.
What is the difference between the Stratosphere Thermosphere and the Trophoshere?
Stratosphere is the layer above troposphere. Troposphere is the first layer and is below the stratosphere.
Why does the stratosphere end at 9 miles?
The Stratosphere does not end at 9 miles in the first place. The Stratosphere STARTS at 17 km so if you do the math, you will know that the Stratosphere does not end at 9 miles.Secondly, the Stratosphere ends at 17 km because that's where the Mesosphere starts.
Name the different layers of atmosphere?
The layers of the Earth's atmosphere, from closest to farthest from the surface, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Each layer has unique characteristics and plays a specific role in the Earth's atmosphere.
Is stratosphere bigger than Megatron?
The term "stratosphere" refers to a layer of Earth's atmosphere, while "Megatron" typically refers to a fictional character from the Transformers franchise. In terms of size, the stratosphere is much larger than Megatron as it encompasses a significant portion of Earth's atmosphere, while Megatron is a fictional robot character which has variable size depending on the portrayal in different Transformers media.
What is the name of the region above the clouds?
Stratosphere
What is the name of the air layers?
The layers are present in stratosphere. These are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere.
What does strato mean in stratosphere?
The strato in stratosphere means layer. Strato is a Latin term that means sheet or layer. The stratosphere is the second highest layer in the atmosphere and is above the troposphere.
What does it mean by the stratosphere is stratified?
Stratification means there are multiple distinct layers within the same region. The stratosphere is stratified by temperature, so there are layers within the stratosphere of distinctly difference temperature.
What is the other name for stratosphere?
the ozon layer ' :D
What other layer is found in the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is a layer in atmosphere. It contains another layer within it. The name of that layer is ozone layer.
The upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere.?
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?\
Is the air in the mesosphere thicker than the air in the stratosphere?
If by thicker you mean more dense then the answer is no.
What is the name for the coldest point in the atmosphere?
The coldest point in the atmosphere is known as the tropopause. This boundary separates the troposphere and the stratosphere, and temperatures can drop significantly as you move higher into the stratosphere.
What is the name of the layer of the atmosphere that has the ozone?
The layer of atmosphere is stratosphere. It is the second layer to troposphere.
What in the temperature in the stratosphere?
The concept of a mean temp in our Stratosphere s very questionable. This number is still an unknown and very much a variable! Height, location, season and humidity all play a roll.
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?
Yes, the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere. This is because the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone in the upper stratosphere creates a temperature inversion, where the temperature increases with altitude.
