Which is the coldest layer of the atmosphere?

Best Answers

Temperatures are warmer in the stratosphere, because of higher amounts of ozone. However, the area that extends above 50 km, the mesosphere, has decreasing temperatures. This layer has less solar heating and higher levels of CO2, which increases the rate of cooling. This area of the atmosphere is the coldest place on Earth. read more

The coldest layer of the atmosphere is the exosphere (space). If you were to not count the exosphere, the coldest layer would be the mesosphere. read more
