...is called the troposphere. Above 11 km the temperature stays the same at about –56.5 °C for increasing heights. This region is the stratosphere, and the height at which the constant temperature starts is the isothermal height (sometimes isothermal level), also known as the tropopause. At far greater altitudes there is more variation but because the air is so thin by then the concept of atmospheric temperature does not mean ......
