The layer of the atmosphere where the decrease in temperature with increasing altitude is totally absent is the stratosphere.
Altitude range: ~15 km to 50 km above Earth’s surface
Temperature trend::-Unlike the troposphere, temperature increases with altitude in the stratosphere.:-This temperature inversion is due to the ozone layer, which absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation and warms the air.
The exosphere marks the transition into space, where Earth's gravity is very weak and particles may escape into space.
Note: Even though temperatures are extremely high, you wouldn't feel hot because the air is so thin there aren’t enough molecules to transfer heat to your skin.
Whereas according to some books, the average temperature of the earth is 16 degree Celsius.
This is the global average temperature, considering both land and ocean surfaces.
It balances the extreme temperatures found in different regions:
Equator: much warmer
Poles: much colder
This average helps maintain conditions suitable for life on Earth.
It’s the layer closest to Earth's surface, where humans live and breathe.
The uppermost layer is called the crust.
