Bookmark or Share- Layers of Earth's Atmosphere | Center for Science EducationEarth's atmosphere is composed of a series of layers, each with its own specific traits. Moving upward from ground level, these layers are called the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The exosphere gradually fades away into the realm of interplanetary space.
- The Stratosphere | Center for Science EducationThe stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. It 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. This diagram shows some of the features of the stratosphere.

- Atmosphere - Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Ozone | BritannicaAtmosphere - Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Ozone: The stratosphere is located above the troposphere and extends up to about 50 km (30 miles). Above the tropopause and the isothermal layer in the lower stratosphere, temperature increases with height. Temperatures as high as 0 °C (32 °F) are observed near the top of the stratosphere.
- Earth's atmosphere (article) | Khan AcademyThe five principal layers of the atmosphere are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Troposphere: The troposphere is the layer closest to Earth. It is the densest layer (i.e., contains the most air particles), and is where most of Earth’s weather and cloud formation occurs. The troposphere is heated ...
- Stratosphere - WikipediaThe stratosphere (/ ˈ s t r æ t ə ˌ s f ɪər,-t oʊ-/) is the second layer of the atmosphere of Earth, located above the troposphere and below the mesosphere. [2] [3] The stratosphere is an atmospheric layer composed of stratified temperature layers, with the warm layers of air high in the sky and the cool layers of air in the low sky ...
