Multiple Choice

Why does temperature increase in the stratosphere?

1

The ozone layer absorbs UV solar radiation

2

Temperature does not increase in the stratosphere, it decreases due to the higher altitude

3

The stratosphere is the closest layer to outer space and the sun

4

The air pressure increases so the molecules are able to transfer heat better through conduction
