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.

How does temperature change as you move from layer to layer in earth's atmosphere?

As you move from the troposphere (closest to the surface) to the stratosphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude due to the decreasing density of the air. In the stratosphere, temperature starts to increase with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone. Overall, the trend is a decrease in temperature with altitude in the troposphere and an increase in temperature with altitude in the stratosphere.


Does temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the mesosphere?

Temperature decreases with altitude in the mesosphere due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure with height. This is because the mesosphere is above the stratosphere where the ozone layer absorbs incoming solar radiation, leading to a decrease in temperature as altitude increases.


Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the tropospere?

Decrease


Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitiude in the troposphere?

As you go up in altitude does the temperature in the air of the stratosphere increase or decrease?

as you go higher the air becomes thinner and colder until eventually you reach space where there is no air and it extremely cold

Where does the temperature stay constant with increasing altitude?

In the stratosphere, the temperature generally remains constant or may even slightly increase with increasing altitude. This is due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer, which warms the stratosphere.

Earth's stratosphere is heated by which process?

The stratosphere is primarily heated by the absorption of UV radiation by ozone molecules, leading to an increase in temperature with altitude. This absorption causes the temperature to rise in the lower stratosphere but decreases with altitude due to the decreasing concentration of ozone.
