Answer:

Atmospheric temperature drops continuously and smoothly with altitude from ground to the exosphere.

  • False

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The layers of atmosphere of earth are
  1. Troposphere
  2. Stratosphere
  3. Mesosphere
  4. Thermosphere
  5. Exosphere
  6. Ionospehre
  • The change in atmospheric temperature wit altitude from ground to exosphere is not uniform and also it doesn't drops continuously.
  • For example, the atmospheric temperature become warmer in Stratosphere as compared to Troposphere.
  • But the layer Mesosphere has coldest temperature as compared to others.
