Detailed explanation-1: -It extends above the tropopause to an altitude of about 30 miles (50 km) above the planet’s surface. The air temperature in the stratosphere remains relatively constant up to an altitude of 15 miles (25 km).
Detailed explanation-2: -Earth’s atmosphere stretches from the surface of the planet up to as far as 10, 000 kilometers (6, 214 miles) above.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mesosphere. This layer extends from around 31 miles (50 km) above the Earth’s surface to 53 miles (85 km).
Detailed explanation-4: -The Stratosphere This extends upwards from the tropopause to about 50 km. It contains much of the ozone in the atmosphere. The increase in temperature with height occurs because of absorption of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun by this ozone.
Detailed explanation-5: -Stratosphere. The stratosphere extends from from 4-12 miles (6-20 km) above the Earth’s surface to around 31 miles (50 km). This layer holds 19 percent of the atmosphere’s gases but very little water vapor. In this region, the temperature increases with height.
