Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Stratosphere – Definition and Characteristics

Height. It extends up to a height of 10 to 50 km. ...

Temperature Inversion. The lower layers of the stratosphere are colder & as we move upwards, the upper layers become hotter. ...

Calm & stable layer. ...

Suitable for flying aircraft. ...

The flow of jet streams. ...

Region of ozone formation.The stratosphere is very dry; air there contains little water vapor. Because of this, few clouds are found in this layer; almost all clouds occur in the lower, more humid troposphere. Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are the exception. PSCs appear in the lower stratosphere near the poles in winter.

Answer 2

Explanation :

The characteristics of Stratosphere are :-

• The air is thin, cold and dry. The temperature is about -55°C.
• Temperature rises from -60°C at the base of the stratosphere to 0°C at stratopause.
• The upper limit of the stratosphere is known as stratopause.
• The Ozone layer lies with the stratosphere. Ozone is generally found between the altitudes of 20 and 50 km.
