Why is the stratosphere warmer than the troposphere despite higher altitude?

When ozone absorbs energy from the sun it warms up.

List the layers from the top down.

Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, Troposphere

How does the Mesosphere protect the Earth?

Ice crystals collide with meteroids causing friction.

State the layers of the atmosphere from the ground up.

Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere

How does the Stratosphere protect the Earth?

Ultraviolet radiation is shielded by O3 (ozone) molecules.
