In the troposphere, the bottom layer of Earth's air, the temperature changes from 17 deg * C to - 51 deg * C getting colder as you go higher. But in the layer above, called the stratosphere, the temperature goes up to -15°C as you go higher. Why does the temperature increase with altitude in the stratosphere? (1 point)

Question

In the troposphere, the bottom layer of Earth's air, the temperature changes from 17 deg * C to - 51 deg * C getting colder as you go higher. But in the layer above, called the stratosphere, the temperature goes up to -15°C as you go higher. Why does the temperature increase with altitude in the stratosphere? (1 point)

Because meteoroids absorb light in this layer.

Because meteoroids break apart in this layer.

Because ozone reflects energy from the Sun.
