what are atmospheric conditions like in the troposphere and stratosphere
The stratosphere /ËstraetÉµsfÉªÉr/ ËstrÃ¦tÉµsfÉªÉr is the second major layer Of'earth s, atmosphere just above the, troposphere and below the. Mesosphere it is stratified in, temperature with warmer layers higher up and cooler layers farther. downiagram of the atmosphere (layers to scale). Distance from the surface to the top of the stratosphere is just under 1% of Earth's radius. This image shows the temperature trend in the Lower Stratosphere as measured by a series of satellite-based instruments between January 1979 and December 2005.
The orange layer is the troposphere, the white layer is the stratosphere and the blue layer is the mesosphere. (The shuttle is actually orbiting at an altitude of more than 320 km (200 mi), far above all three layers.). Earth atmosphere diagram showing the exosphere and other layers.rom Earth's surface to the top of the stratosphere (50km) is just under 1% of Earth's radius. The troposphere is the lowest portion of Earth's atmosphere. It contains approximately 75% of the atmosphere 's mass and 99% of its water vapor and aerosols.
