Startosphere Layers and Their Characteristics

KOMPAS.com – Earth’s atmosphere has a series of layers, each of which has its own characteristics.

Starting from the closest to the Earth’s surface, atmospheric layer composed of the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.

Gradually, the exosphere, the outermost layer of the atmosphere, faded into the realm of interplanetary space.

Reporting from the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), the next layer of the atmosphere is called the stratosphere.

The stratosphere extends from the top of the troposphere to about 50 km above ground level.

The ozone layer is found in the stratosphere. The ozone molecules in this layer absorb high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and turn it into heat.

Unlike the troposphere, the stratosphere gets warmer the higher you go.

This means that the air in the stratosphere has no turbulence and air flows upward from the troposphere below.

Reporting from the Learning Source of the Ministry of Education and Culture, the stratosphere has a very important influence because in this layer light from the Sun will not directly enter the Earth’s surface, but is absorbed first.

Then, just like in the troposphere, the stratosphere also has a boundary layer.

Stratosphere Lapisan It is also subdivided into several layers, namely:

• Lapisan isotherm
• Hot layer
• Top mix layer.
