Thermopause

Troposphere all water vapour and 80% of the atmosphere’s gases are found in the lowest level, the troposphere. Meteorological phenomena. Here temperatures drop by 0.65 °C for every 100 m of increased altitude. -70 ºC

Stratosphere ozone layer is found in the middle of this layer ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation warmer temperatures. 0 ºC

Mesosphere They can reach -100 °C.

Thermosphere temperatures reach up to 1,500 °C in this layer solar radiation produces electrically charged, ionised gases.

Exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth’s atmosphere, extends to the highest limit of the atmosphere. Only molecules of helium and hydrogen. The temperatures in the exosphere varies in the daytime 1500ºC and at night -273.15.
