In general the higher we go the cooler it becomes . temperature fall continues within the lowermost layer of our atmosphere, known as the troposphere. Above the troposphere, the stratosphere exists and in this region the temperature increases with an increase in altitude. The mesosphere is the part of the atmosphere that lies above the stratosphere. In this region, the temperature falls with an increase in altitude. And finally as we continue rising up, we reach the thermosphere, where the temperature increases with increased altitude.
