Question

What are the upper and lower height limits of Stratosphere?

Answer 1

Answer:

The stratosphere is a layer of earth atmosphere. The upper layer is Mesosphere and the lower layer is Troposphere.

The upper limit of the stratosphere is 20 km high to the altitude. The lower limit of the stratosphere is 20 km below the altitude.

In wintertime, it shows some variations. The upper level is very high compared to the lower level.

The Ozone layer absorbs the ultraviolet radiation in this stratosphere layer.

The above layer of the stratosphere consists of little vapor. When temperature increases with the hight.

Answer 2

The upper and lower height limits of the Stratosphere are 50 kilometers and 10 kilometers respectively.

Explanation:

• The stratosphere forms the second layer after the troposphere which is the closest to the surface of the Earth

• It houses the ozone layer within itself.

• It is because of the presence of the ozone layer that absorbs the ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun, the temperature in the stratosphere increases with an increase in the altitude.

• The stratosphere is comparatively more stable than the troposphere.
