Question

When we go from outer space towards the Earth, the temperature of the atmosphere ______.

  1. Changes randomly
  2. Increases
  3. Decreases
  4. Remains the same

hintHint:

Temperature increases as you gain altitude in the stratosphere and the thermosphere.

The correct answer is: Decreases


    Temperature increases as you gain altitude in the stratosphere and the thermosphere. Temperature decreases as you gain altitude in the troposphere and mesosphere. Air temperature varies in complicated ways with altitude.
    hence When we go from outer space towards the Earth, the temperature of the atmosphere decreases___
