Question

How does change in temperature occur depending on the altitude in troposphere and stratosphere?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The temperature decreases with the rise in altitude in the troposphere.

The temperature increases with the rise in altitude in the stratosphere.

Explanation:

• Troposphere is the  layer of atmosphere, closest to the ground.
• It has maximum number of gases.
• Troposphere gets heated up due to the radiations reflecting back from earth.
• That means the layer of troposphere nearer to the earths surface is warmer than the higher layers.
• Thus the temperature decreases with rise in altitude in the troposphere.
• Troposphere is followed by a troposphere. This is a transition zone between troposphere and stratosphere. Here no changes takes place with rise in altitude.
• Second layer of atmosphere, that lies next to troposphere is stratosphere.
• Stratosphere has similar composition as that of the troposphere except for the presence of the layer of ozone in it.
• The stratosphere gets heated up due to the trapping of heat by the ozone layer.
• Ozone gets heated up due to the ultraviolet radiations of the sun.
• That means the higher layers of the stratosphere is more heated up than the lower layers.
• Thus, With increase in altitude the temperature also increases in the stratosphere.
