It is the outer most layer of atmosphere. The air is very thin and there is no difinite outer limit. It is so hot because sunlight stikes the thermoshphere first. Nitrogen and oxygen molecules convert energy into heat. Thermoshphere doesn't contain enough air molecules to collide with. Lower layer of theromsphere is ionoshphere and the outer portion is exosphere.

What kind of light warms the stratosphere?

Ultraviolet light from the Sun warms the stratosphere by absorbing and heating up the ozone in this layer of the atmosphere. This absorption of UV light by ozone helps to create the temperature inversion characteristic of the stratosphere.

What characteristic divides earth's atmosphere into layers?

The characteristic is temperature. While pressure diminishes with increasing altitude, it is dependent on the underlying air masses. Temperature changes vary consistently within each of the major layers (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere).


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.
