Why does temperature increase with height through the stratosphere?

Ozone absorbs more ultraviolet radiation than does air in the troposphere. As a result, the stratosphere is heated, and air gradually increases in temperature to the top of the layer, called the startopause.

Why does temperature vary with height?
As temperature increase pressure will increase

What layer of the earth is under the mesosphere?
Its a layer of our atmosphere, above the stratosphere, but beneath the thermosphere. It starts at around an altitude of 50-60km and ends at around an altitude of around 100-120km. The temperature tends to drop with increased height through the mesosphere. At the 100-120km point is the coldest place on earth, with temperatures around -160'C. Temperatures then start to rise again with height through the thermosphere.
What is jets streams?
Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow air currents found at the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with height) and the stratosphere (where temperature increases with height) and are located at 10-15 kilometers above the surface of the Earth. They form near boundaries of adjacent air masses with significant differences in temperature
What is the temperature when the height of air equals to zero?
what is the temperature when the height of air equals zero
In which layers of the atmosphere does the temperature increase with increasing height?
The stratosphere is where the temperature increases with height. This is due to absorption of UV radiation by atmospheric ozone.
Does the stratosphere temperature increase or decrease?
In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with height. This is due to the presence of the ozone layer near the top of the stratosphere. The ozone layer absorbs incoming UV radiation, and thus the temperatures are warmer at the top of the stratosphere than at the bottom.
Does the temperature in the stratosphere decrease or increase?
In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with height. This is due to the presence of the ozone layer near the top of the stratosphere. The ozone layer absorbs incoming UV radiation, and thus the temperatures are warmer at the top of the stratosphere than at the bottom.

What is the height and temperature of the tropopause?
what is the approximate height and temperature of the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere?
What is the difference between stratosphere and toposphere?
Troposphere: Temperature decreases with hight Stratosphere : Temperature increases with height
How does temperature change as you go through the atmosphere?
There are four layers of the atmosphere. At the ground is the troposphere, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Temperature decreases with height through the troposphere, increases in the stratosphere, decreases in the mesosphere, then increases again in the thermosphere.
How does temperature change as you go higher through the atmosphere?
There are four layers of the atmosphere. At the ground is the troposphere, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Temperature decreases with height through the troposphere, increases in the stratosphere, decreases in the mesosphere, then increases again in the thermosphere.

How can you describe the word stratosphere?
The stratosphere lies above the troposphere at 12 - 50 km. It is characterized by an increase of ozone with a maximum ozone concentration at ybout 30 km of height. Temperature also increases with height and reaches 0 °c at about 50 km. This increase is mainly caused by the ozone that absorbs the UV radiation of the sun. Doing this, the ozone layer is of essential important for the life on Earth. The stratosphere is almost without clouds because the transport of water vapour from the troposphere into the stratosphere is very limited because of the extremely low temperatures in the tropopause. The stratosphere may be devided into a lower stratosphere with a constant temperature of about -56 °C and a upper stratosphere above 20 km of height. In the upper stratosphere, temperature increases to about 0 °C from radiation absorption. Because of the increasing temperature with increasing height (like inversion weather condition) there is only very limited vertical movement. Almost 99 % of the mass of the atmosphere is located within the lower 30 km.
