STRATOSPHERE


The stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. It is the second layer of the atmosphere as you go upward. ... The bottom of the stratosphere is around 10 km (6.2 miles or about 33,000 feet) above the ground at middle latitudes. The top of the stratosphere occurs at an altitude of 50 km (31 miles).
The stratosphere is where you'll find the very important ozone layer. The ozone layer helps protect us from ultraviolet radiation (UV) from the sun. In fact, the ozone layer absorbs most of the UV radiation the sun sends to us. Life as we know it wouldn't be possible without this layer of protection.
Temperature Inversion. The lower layers of the stratosphere are colder & as we move upwards, the upper layers become hotter. ... 
Temperature Increases With Height. ... 
The Stratosphere Is Where Jets Like to Fly.
