Temperatures in the mesosphere drop with increasing altitude to about -100°C. The mesosphere is the coldest of the atmospheric layers. In fact it is colder then Antarctica's lowest recorded temperature. It is cold enough to freeze water vapor into ice clouds.

Mesosphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mesosphere (from the Greek words mesos = middle and sphaira = ball) is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is directly above the stratosphere and directly below the thermosphere. The me...

Mesopause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mesopause is the temperature minimum at the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere atmospheric regions. Due to the lack of solar heating and very strong cooling by radiative emissi...

The top of the mesosphere is the coldest part of the atmosphere. It can get down to -90° C (-130° F) there! As you go higher in the mesosphere, the air gets colder. ... The air is much thinner (less dense) in the mesosphere than in the stratosphere below. There are fewer air molecules to absorb incoming...

Meteorology and Weather question: Why is mesosphere temperature cold and thermosphere temperature so hot? It is so hot here because nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere absorb a lot of radiation from ... How hot is the outer mesosphere? What makes the mesosphere so cold? Mesosphere temperature in celcius?
