True or false: it is the lowest atmosphere layer containing most of the atmosphere's mass.
True
why does the temperature increase in the stratosphere when you rise in altitude?
the ozone absorbs the suns energy and converts it to heat.
why does temperature decrease in the mesosphere when you rise in altitude?
low air density absorbs very little solar radiation.
