At the top of the troposphere is a thin layer called the tropopause. Temperature in the tropopause does not change with height. This means that the cooler, denser air of the troposphere is trapped beneath the warmer, less dense air of the stratosphere. layer of ozone molecules absorbs solar radiation, which heats the stratosphere. Unlike in the troposphere, air in the stratosphere is stable because warmer, less dense air sits over cooler, denser air. As a result, there is little mixing of air within the layer.
