Question

Which one of the layers of earth's atmosphere is characterized by an increase in temperature as altitude increases?

Answer 1

Ionosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature in the ionosphere increases as altitude increases. In the ionosphere, a layer known as the thermosphere starts. The name thermosphere comes from the temperature increases as altitude increases.

Answer 2

The stratosphere is the second major layer in the Earth's atmosphere. It is located above the troposphere and below the mesosphere. An interesting characteristic of this layer is that heat increases with altitude due to ultraviolet light being absorbed from the sun within the ozone layer.
