The mesosphere does not absorb any significant portion of solar radiation and as result, temperatures decrease with height throughout this layer. In fact, the mesopause at the top of the mesosphere may be the coldest place on Earth with frigid temperatures as low as -100 °C (-150 °F). ... Characteristics of the Mesosphere...
