Answer: The stratosphere and the troposphere are defined by the variation in temperature with height. Within a troposphere, the temperature drops as altitude increases, and drops fast enough for convection to occur. Whereas within a stratosphere, the temperature rises with increasing altitude. Features of the atmosphere change with altitude: density decreases, air pressure decreases, temperature changes vary. Different temperature gradients create different layers within the atmosphere. The lowest layer is the troposphere where most of the atmospheric gases and all of the planet's weather are located.
