• mesosphere

• Methane
• Ozone

energy by electromagnetic waves

• Electromagnetic field
• spectrum

• radiation

layer directly above the troposphere

• stratosphere
• tropopause
• exosphere

directly above the mesosphere and below exosphere. Within this layer ultraviolet radiation causes photoionization
