In the stratosphere, temperature increases with increased elevation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere above the troposphere and extends up to approximately 50 km. In this layer, temperature increases with increased elevation due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation from the sun by ozone present in this layer. This creates a temperature inversion, where the temperature increases with height, unlike in the troposphere where it decreases with height.
