Do you mean the four main layers of Earth's atmosphere? If so, here are typical temperature ranges (approximate, in °C) and altitudes:
- Troposphere (surface to ~8–12 km): about +15°C at the surface down to ~−55 to −60°C at the tropopause.
- Stratosphere (~12–50 km): temperature rises from ~−55°C at the bottom to around 0°C (upper stratosphere/stratopause); upper parts can reach a few tens of °C depending on ozone and season.
- Mesosphere (~50–85 km): temperatures fall again to the coldest layer, about −90°C (mesopause) at the top.
- Thermosphere (~85 km to 500+ km): temperature increases with altitude to very high values — typically hundreds to a few thousand °C (roughly 500–2,000°C or more, depending on solar activity). Note: because the air is extremely thin, those high “temperatures” do not feel hot the way temperature does near the surface.
If you meant a different set of four layers (e.g., Earth’s internal layers: crust, mantle, outer core, inner core), tell me and I’ll give those temperatures instead. Would you like Fahrenheit conversions or a graph vs altitude?
