In which direction does temperature generally change with height in the mesosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Temperature decreases
Temperature generally decreases as altitude increases through the mesosphere because this layer absorbs relatively little solar energy compared with the ozone-rich stratosphere. The mesopause near its upper boundary is one of the coldest atmospheric regions. Thus, option A is correct. The other choices are not meaningful physical descriptions of temperature variation or incorrectly claim that temperature remains constant.
