The temperature can reach -80 degrees
5-7 miles above the poles
50 kilometres abv the earths surface or 31 miles
Stratosphere
Second Layer
-60 degrees
Warmer than the lower stratosphere

Mesosphere
Middle Layer
50km above the earths surface ends at an altitude of 80km
-90 degrees
Protects earth from being hit by meteoroids
Most meteors burn up before they hit earth
Thermosphere
