Question

Give and explain the trend in temperature versus the height or altitude of the 5 layers of the atmosphere.​

Answer 1

➰➿Answer➰➿

The troposphere is heated from the ground, so temperature decreases with altitude. Because warm air rises and cool air sinks, the troposphere is unstable. In the stratosphere, temperature  increases with altitude. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, which protects the planet from the Sun's harmful UV radiation.
