The mesosphere, located approximately 50 to 85 kilometers (31 to 53 miles) above the Earth's surface, experiences temperatures that decrease with altitude. In this layer, temperatures can drop to as low as -90 degrees Celsius (-130 degrees Fahrenheit) at the top. The decrease in temperature is primarily due to the lack of solar energy absorption compared to lower atmospheric layers.
