- Within this layer, temperature increases as altitude increases (see temperature inversion) ; the top of the stratosphere has a temperature of about 270 K (−3 °C or 26.6 °F), just slightly below the freezing point of water.he stratosphere is layered in temperature because ozone (O 3) here absorbs high energy ultraviolet (UVB and UVC) radiation from the Sun and is broken down into the allotropes of atomic oxygen (O 1) and common molecular oxygen (O 2).

- On average, temperature decreases from about 5°F (-15°C) to as low as -184°F (-120°C) at the mesopause. However, the gases in the mesosphere are still thick enough to slow down meteorites hurtling into the atmosphere, where they burn up, leaving fiery trails in the night sky. Thermosphere

How does temperature change as height increases in the troposphere? In the troposphere, temperatures decrease with altitude (air pressure), in the effect known as the adiabatic lapse rate (9.8 °C per thousand feet). 4 people found this useful. Edit.

- The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere above the mesosphere. The thermosphere extends from 50 to 55 miles (80-90 km) above sea level, with the upper limit undefined. The temperature in the thermosphere initially rises rapidly with heights up to about 120 miles (200 km) and thereafter increases more slowly.Above 120 miles (200 km) - depending on solar activity-the temperature varies between 600° and 2000°C (1100 and 3600°F). The highest temperature in the thermosphere is about 3,000o F (1500o C). However, The air in the thermosphere is thin, so not many atoms can hit a thermometre, so it wou … ld have a very low reading. With nothing to shield it from the Sun's rays, the few atoms in the thermosphere get excited and move very fast.

The Stratosphere - overview Ozone, an unusual type of oxygen molecule that is relatively abundant in the stratosphere, heats this layer as it absorbs energy from incoming ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. Temperatures rise as one moves upward through the stratosphere.t is the second layer of the atmosphere as you go upward. The troposphere, the lowest layer, is right below the stratosphere. The next higher layer above the stratosphere is the mesosphere. The bottom of the stratosphere is around 10 km (6.2 miles or about 33,000 feet) above the ground at middle latitudes.

Temperature Distribution in the Atmosphere, Vertical the distribution of air temperature with respect to height. This distribution is characterized by the vertical temperature gradient γ, which is expressed in degrees per 100 m.In the troposphere, the temperature decreases with height at an average rate of 0.6° per 100 m—that is, γ = 0.6°/100 m. At each individual point, however, γ may deviate from this average value.he distribution of air temperature with respect to height.

- The temperature in this layer usually decreases as the height increases up to the top of the mesosphere where the temperature can be as low as - 95 °C or even lower. The composition of gases in the atmosphere from the ground to the top of the mesosphere, are almost identical except for water vapor and ozone.he stratosphere extends from 10 kilometers to 50 - 55 kilometers above ground. Within the lower part which extends from the top of the troposphere to about 30-35 kilometers the temperature is almost constant, or increases slightly with height.

An overview of peat in Florida and related issues ( FGS: Special publication 27 ) The troposphere is where all of Earth's weather occurs. It contains approximately 80% of the total mass of the atmosphere. The troposphere is characterized by decreasing temperature with height (at an average rate of 3.5 degrees F per thousand feet, or 6.5 degrees C per kilometer).In contrast, the stratosphere has either constant or slowly increasing temperature with height.he troposphere is characterized by decreasing temperature with height (at an average rate of 3.5 degrees F per thousand feet, or 6.5 degrees C per kilometer).

The Mesosphere - overview Credit: Randy Russell, UCAR. The mesosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The mesosphere is directly above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from about 50 to 85 km (31 to 53 miles) above our planet.Temperature decreases with height throughout the mesosphere.The coldest temperatures in Earth's atmosphere, about -90° C (-130° F), are found near the top of this layer.redit: Randy Russell, UCAR.

- Temperatures in the upper thermosphere can range from about 500 C (932 F) to 2,000 C (3,632 F) or higher. The boundary between the thermosphere and the exosphere above it is called the thermopause. At the bottom of the thermosphere is the mesopause, the boundary between the thermosphere and the mesosphere below.lthough the thermosphere is considered part of Earth's atmosphere, the air density is so low in this layer that most of the thermosphere is what we normally think of as outer space.

- They are, in ascending order, the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere. THE TROPOSPHERE. This is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, and varies in height in different spans of the world from roughly 28,000 feet above sea level at the poles to 54,000 feet at the equator.Within the troposphere the pressure, density and temperature all decrease rapidly with height.HE MESOSPHERE. The mesosphere is characterized by a marked increase in temperature. At a height of about 150,000 feet, the temperature reaches 10 C. The rise in temperature is due to the presence of a layer of ozone which absorbs more of the sun's radiation.

Talk:Thermosphere The highly diluted gas in this layer can reach 2,500 °C (4,530 °F) during the day. Even though the temperature is so high, one would not feel warm in the thermosphere, because it is so near vacuum that there is not enough contact with the few atoms of gas to transfer much heat.

Thermosphere: Definition, Facts, Composition & Temperature The thermosphere has extremely high temperatures, coinciding with the prefix in its name, thermo, which means temperature. Temperatures can reach over 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit, and the high heat comes from the intense light rays, or radiation, from the sun. Since there is little to no atmospheric gases above the thermosphere, there is no absorption of the heat from solar radiation, and so temperatures soar. In lower layers of the atmosphere, as you increase in altitude, temperature decreases The thermosphere is the first layer to which this pattern does not apply. ×

Layers of the Atmosphere Heat is produced in the process of the formation of Ozone and this heat is responsible for temperature increases from an average -60°F (-51°C) at tropopause to a maximum of about 5°F (-15°C) at the top of the stratosphere. This increase in temperature with height means warmer air is located above cooler air.

Stratopause (June 2009) The stratopause (formerly Mesopeak) is the level of the atmosphere which is the boundary between two layers: the stratosphere and the mesosphere. In the stratosphere the temperature increases with altitude, and the stratopause is the region where a maximum in the temperature occurs. This atmospheric feature is not only associated with Earth: it occurs on any other planet or moon that has an atmosphere as well.

Layers of Earth's Atmosphere Most meteors burn up in the mesosphere. Unlike the stratosphere, temperatures once again grow colder as you rise up through the mesosphere. The coldest temperatures in Earth's atmosphere, about -90° C (-130° F), are found near the top of this layer. The air in the mesosphere is far too thin to breathe; air pressure at the bottom of the layer is well below 1% of the pressure at sea level, and continues dropping as you go higher. Thermosphere

Why Is the Thermosphere so Hot? Temperatures within the thermosphere increase at higher levels until it becomes somewhat stable up to the thermopause, the end of the thermosphere and the beginning of the exosphere. In upper levels, the typical temperatures of the thermosphere are usually anywhere between 900 degrees and 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature often is about 400 degrees Fahrenheit hotter during the day than at night.

The Atmosphere The temperature increases with increasing altitude in the stratosphere because there's a high concentration of ozone molecules. These ozone molecules absorb UV rays from the Sun and then radiates this energy in the form of infrared waves. Nearby gases can absorb this infrared energy and increase in temperature.

- Temperature. The temperature of the chromosphere ranges between 6,000 and 50,000 degrees Celsius. Unlike most objects in the solar system, the chromosphere actually increases in temperature as it moves away from the sun.he chromosphere is a layer of the sun that is 2,000-3 000 kilometers thick. Located above the photosphere, reddish glows can only be seen easily in a total solar eclipse when the photosphere is blocked by the moon.
