    Question: The layer of atmosphere having lowest temperature is

    Options:

    stratosphere
    troposphere
    mesosphere
    More than one of the above

    The correct answer is Mesosphere.
    🔑Key Points: Mesosphere –
    -It extends above the stratosphere up to a height of about 80 km.It is the coldest layer of the atmosphere.
    -The mesosphere is directly above the stratosphere.
    -The stratosphere and mesosphere are collectively termed as " Middle atmosphere". 
    -Within the mesosphere, temperature decreases with increasing height, due to decreasing solar heating and increasing cooling by CO2 radiative emission.

    🔴Additional Information:
    There are a total of five atmospheric layers.These are – 
    -Troposphere
    -Stratosphere
    -Mesosphere
    -Thermosphere
    -Ionosphere: the lowest part of the Thermosphere contains the ionosphere
    -Exosphere
