1. Atmospheric Temperature
Troposphere – temperature decreases with altitude.
temperature decreases about 6.5oC every kilometer
Stratosphere – temperature increases because of the ozone layer.
ozone molecules absorb some of the suns energy which increases temperature

2. Atmospheric Temperature
Mesosphere – temperature decreases because it is the coldest layer.
Thermosphere – temperature increases, it’s the hottest layer.
The Thermosphere and Exosphere are the first layers to receive the Sun’s rays so temperatures are high.

3. High concentration of ozone
Exosphere
