Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The troposphere is hotter near the Earth's surface because heat from the Earth warms this air. ... Mesosphere: As the altitude increases, the air temperature decreases. The Mesosphere, like the troposphere layer, has a decrease in temperature with altitude because of the decreases in the density of the air molecules.
