How does the temperature change each layer of the atmosphere?

In the atmosphere, temperature changes with altitude in distinct layers. In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with height due to the decrease in pressure and density. In the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. In the mesosphere, temperatures again decrease with height, while in the thermosphere, temperatures rise significantly due to the absorption of high-energy solar radiation.
