temperature in the stratosphere
Within this layer, temperature increases as altitude increases (see temperature inversion) ; the top of the stratosphere has a temperature of about 270 K (â3 Â°C or 26.6 Â°F), just slightly below the freezing point of water.he stratosphere is layered in temperature because ozone (O 3) here absorbs high energy ultraviolet (UVB and UVC) radiation from the Sun and is broken down into the allotropes of atomic oxygen (O 1) and common molecular oxygen (O 2).
