The '''stratosphere''' is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that exists above the [[troposphere]]. On average, the bottom of the stratosphere is at a height of about 12 km and the top of the stratosphere (called the ''stratopause'') is around 50 km.<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Physical Science''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1999, 2000</ref> The layer above the stratosphere is the [[mesosphere]].

Temperature increases with height in the stratosphere. This causes the stratosphere to be buoyantly stable, which suppresses vertical motions.
