Layers of the atmosphere

• as altitude increases, temperature decreases


  troposphere
• 10-20km, equal temperature. 20-50km, temperature increases

  stratosphere
• temperature decreases while height increases

  mesosphere
• the temperature steadily increases with height

  thermosphere
• temperature increases with altitude (height)

  exosphere
• the layers of our atmosphere are divided based on temperature differences
• This refers to the layer of the atmosphere that is near the earth’s surface.

  Troposphere
• Auroras and space shuttles are

  stationed in this layer.

  Thermosphere
• Which layers have lower temperatures

  with increasing altitudes?

  Troposphere and mesosphere
