Answer 2

The chief characteristics of the stratosphere are:

This layer lies above the tropopause and extends up to 50 km above the surface of the Earth.

This layer is free from any weather related phenomena.

The temperature remains constant in the lower levels of the stratosphere but increases with further height.

The Ozone layer which is present in the stratosphere absorbs the harmful ultraviolet rays of the Sun.

The temperature again begins to decrease at about 50km and marks the end of the stratosphere and the beginning of stratopause.
