Up to what approximate height does the stratosphere extend?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: About 50 kilometres
The stratosphere extends from roughly 12–15 kilometres above Earth’s surface to about 50 kilometres. Therefore, option B is correct. It lies above the troposphere and contains most of the ozone layer, where temperature generally rises with height. Option A is near the top of the troposphere, option C is closer to the mesosphere, and option D is far beyond the stratosphere.
