Some do. Mostly they are the supersonic long distant flyers that have a long ways to go.

Otherwise there is little reason to waste all that fuel to go so high.

The upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere.?

Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?\


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.


Is the temperature in the stratosphere colder than in the troposphere?

In general, the temperature in the stratosphere is warmer than in the troposphere because the stratosphere absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The temperature inversion in the stratosphere creates a stabilizing effect on the atmosphere.


Is the stratosphere bigger than the mesosphere?

No, the stratosphere is not bigger than the mesosphere. The mesosphere is located above the stratosphere in Earth's atmosphere and extends from about 50-85 kilometers above the Earth's surface, while the stratosphere extends from about 10-50 kilometers.


Is the upper stratosphere colder than the lower stratosphere?

Yes, the upper stratosphere is generally colder than the lower stratosphere. This is because the stratosphere's temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone in the lower stratosphere. However, the temperature starts to decrease again in the upper stratosphere due to the cooling effect of gases like ozone and molecular oxygen.

Is the mesosphere colder than the stratosphere?

Yes, the mesosphere is colder than the stratosphere. Temperatures in the mesosphere can drop as low as -90 degrees Celsius (-130 degrees Fahrenheit) due to its higher altitude and distance from the warming effects of the Earth's surface, while the stratosphere is warmer due to the presence of the ozone layer.


How long does it take for chlorofluorocarbons to reach the stratosphere?

Chlorofluorocarbons, also called CFC, go into the stratosphere. Air is lighter than the CFC and they can take about 2 to 5 years to travel in the stratosphere.


What is the layer of the atmosphere that contains a higher concentration of ozone than the rest of the atmosphere called?

That layer is stratosphere. It contains the ozone layer.

What is the speed of sound in stratosphere?

The speed of sound in the stratosphere is approximately 295 meters per second, which is slower than at sea level due to the lower temperature and density of the air at higher altitudes.


Does the density in the mesosphere go up or down?

The density of the mesosphere is lower than the density of the trophosphere or stratosphere. As you go higher into the atmosphere, the density decreases.

No, the stratosphere is not bigger than the mesosphere. The mesosphere is located above the stratosphere in Earth's atmosphere and extends from about 50-85 kilometers above the Earth's surface, while the stratosphere extends from about 10-50 kilometers.
