Pro Tip 1/3Earth's Layers
The stratosphere is one of the layers of Earth's atmosphere, not the surface or space.
Weather balloons can rise up into the stratosphere to gather data.
Pro Tip 2/3Ozone Significance
The stratosphere is important for its ozone layer, which protects us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.
Scientists study the stratosphere to monitor changes in the ozone layer.
Pro Tip 3/3Commercial Flight

Bertrand Piccard
Swiss Psychologist
My life and the life of my family has to do with exploration, with adventure. My grandfather was the first man in the stratosphere, and my father was the first to touch the deepest point in the ocean... For me, adventure and exploration is something in the blood.

Justin Hayward
British Musician
The Beatles were in a different stratosphere, a different planet to the rest of us. All I know is when I heard 'Love Me Do' on the radio, I remember walking down the street and knowing my life was going to be completely different now the Beatles were in it.

Victor Francis Hess
American Physicist
It may well be said that the answer to the question: Of what do the cosmic rays in fact consist before they produce their familiar secondary radiation phenomena in the earth's atmosphere? can only be obtained from numerous measurements in the stratosphere.
Quote examples
Mario J. Molina
Mexican Scientist
In contrast to the troposphere, the stratosphere is extremely dry and practically cloudless - the concentration of water vapor is measured in parts per million and is, in fact, comparable to that of ozone.

Over the years, I had nurtured the hope to be able to fly; to handle a machine as it rose higher and higher in the stratosphere was my dearest dream.
