One reason the temperature decreases with increasing altitude in the troposphere is . the chemical reaction that forms ozone gives off heat and ozone increases in concentration toward the upper troposphere molecular spacing increases with increasing altitude the water vapor in the troposphere is heated by terrestrial radiation the solar radiation is absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere
