Mesosphere
Overview
The mesosphere is characterized by a decrease in temperature with increasing altitude. It is the coldest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, with temperatures reaching as low as -130°C (-202°F).Key Features
- Temperature decreases with altitude - Contains the mesopause, the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere - Protects the Earth from meteoroids as they burn up upon entryImportance
The mesosphere plays a crucial role in protecting the Earth from meteoroids, as they burn up upon entry due to the high frictional heating caused by the compression of air in this layer.Study Guide
