Pretending that the earth and its atmosphere are perfectly spherical and not elliptical, we can calculate the approximate volume of the stratosphere. The radius of the Earth is roughly 6,378.1 km. The troposphere, which lies below the stratosphere is around 18 km at its highest height. The stratosphere extends to around 42 km above the troposphere. Finding the difference between the volume of the earth including the atmosphere and the earth up to the troposphere gives the approximate volume of the stratosphere. It is approximately 22 thousand million kiloliters.

In the stratosphere does temperature increase or decrease with altitude?

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.


What happens to the temperature as altitude increases in a stratosphere?

Temperature reaches its coldest at the tropopause, which is the boundary between the troposphere below and the stratosphere above. In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with height due to absorption of radiation by ozone.Temperature changes when altitude is in the stratosphere because of one things. It already rises when you climb up in the stratosphere.


Do I live in the layer of the atmosphere called the stratosphere?

It is unlikely that you live in the stratosphere, as it is the second layer of Earth's atmosphere located above the troposphere where we live. The stratosphere typically begins around 10-13 km above the Earth's surface and extends up to about 50 km.


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.

How far does the stratosphere rise off the ground?

Stratosphere rises to a height of 10- 50 km of the ground. There is no certain distinction of layer in atmosphere.


Does the stratosphere temperature increase or decrease?

How can you describe the word stratosphere?

The stratosphere lies above the troposphere at 12 - 50 km. It is characterized by an increase of ozone with a maximum ozone concentration at ybout 30 km of height. Temperature also increases with height and reaches 0 °c at about 50 km. This increase is mainly caused by the ozone that absorbs the UV radiation of the sun. Doing this, the ozone layer is of essential important for the life on Earth. The stratosphere is almost without clouds because the transport of water vapour from the troposphere into the stratosphere is very limited because of the extremely low temperatures in the tropopause. The stratosphere may be devided into a lower stratosphere with a constant temperature of about -56 °C and a upper stratosphere above 20 km of height. In the upper stratosphere, temperature increases to about 0 °C from radiation absorption. Because of the increasing temperature with increasing height (like inversion weather condition) there is only very limited vertical movement. Almost 99 % of the mass of the atmosphere is located within the lower 30 km.
