Mesosphere The mesosphere extends from the top of stratopause to 80 km In the mesosphere, the temperature decreases with altitude
Mesosphere • The mesosphere extends from the top of stratopause to ~80 km. • In the mesosphere, the temperature decreases with altitude
Thermosphere The layer of air above mesosphere is called thermosphere In the thermosphere temperature rises with altitude, caused by absorption of UV solar radiation by n2 and o2
