Answer:
Because there are few gas molecules in the mesosphere to absorb the Sun's radiation, the heat source is the stratosphere below. The mesosphere is extremely cold, especially at its top, about -90°C (-130°F). The air in the mesosphere has extremely low density: 99.9% of the mass of the atmosphere is below the mesosphere.
