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.

∙ 10y ago- The Stratosphere is mostly the ozone layer, but it helps protect us from ultraviolet radiation.

∙ 12y agoThe answer would be atmosphere above the troposphere, and the troposphere is the lowest layer of atmosphere.

What does the name of each atmospheric layer mean?
The troposphere is the layer of turning or change.The stratoshere
How many layers are in the atmosphere?
There are five layers in the atomosphere. The troposhere, the stratoshere, the mesoshere, the thermoshere and the exosphere. There is also the ionosphere which is within the thermosphere and is noted for its chemistry.
What is after the stratoshere?
The layer beyond the stratosphere is the ionosphere which has a high quantity of both positive and negative ions... mobile communications , satellite communications takes place with the help of these ions.
What are the important characteristics of the stratoshere?
the stratoshere contains the ozone
Is the troposhere the thickest or is it the stratoshere?
stratosphere
Why does temperature in the stratoshere increase with altitude?
It doesn't, it decreases.
What does the layer of the atmosphere means?
The troposphere is the layer of turning or change.The stratoshere
What does the name of each atmospheric layer mean?

What happens to the ozone layer in the stratoshere?
Ozone in stratosphere protects us. It protects from the harmful UV rays of the sun.

Is the stratosphere above the troposhere?
Yes. The troposhere is the first layer of the atmosphere.Then the stratoshere(where the ozone layer is located).Next is the mesosphere,where meteors that enter the atmosphere burn up. Then there is the thermosphere.After the thermosphere there is the exosphere, and the last layer(which is very thin)is the magnetosphere. It is earth's magnetic field. It also causes the northern lights! Hope this novel helped.
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.
Can an object free fall from the stratoshere and achieve a speed greater than Mach 1?
Yes one can reach greater than mach one in free fall from the stratosphere. Acceleration of gravity is about 32 ft. /sec^^2 and barring atmospheric resistance one would reach mach 1 about 34.375 seconds after release after having traveled about 19000 ft. A frenchman named Michel Fournier plans to attempt a mach 1+ jump in late may 2008. He will jump from a weather balloon at about 131,000 ft. and he intends to reach a maximum speed of 1,113 mph before increasing air resistance halts his acceleration and begins slowing him down. The plan is to pass through mach 1 about 37 seconds after jumping. His free fall plan is about 6.5 minutes with a total jump time of 8.5 minutes. If successful he will be the first skydiver to exceed mach 1 and also break the free fall skydiving time record. http://www.legrandsaut.org/index.php?lang=eng These calculations are for a human in free fall, which has a terminal velocity of only about 120 mph in freefall near sea level. This much greater speed is possible because of much less air resistance at high altitude. The impact air pressure felt by him as he falls will be the same as a normal skydiver in free fall from a much lower altitude would feel. A streamlined object dropped from 131,000 ft. could exceed the expected speed of the skydiver considerably because of much less air resistance allowing a greater time for acceleration and a higher terminal velocity.
