Normally, the temperature in the troposphere decreases with height. In an inversion, it increases. There are several reasons that this can happen, but some results include increased pollution in the summer, and particularly cold mornings in the fall and winter when your cell phone may have some trouble with reception.

Which is earths densest atmospheric layer?
The troposphere is Earth's densest atmospheric layer, containing approximately 75% of the atmosphere's total mass. It is the layer closest to the Earth's surface, extending up to about 7-17 kilometers in altitude.
Earths early atmosphere was changed dramatically by the evolution of?
photosynthetic organisms, like cyanobacteria, which produced oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis. This led to the increase in atmospheric oxygen levels, changing the composition of Earth's early atmosphere.
Where is the center of mass of earths atmosphere?
The center of mass of Earth's atmosphere is located close to Earth's geometric center, but it can be slightly influenced by atmospheric circulation patterns and mass distribution. Overall, it is within the region of Earth's core, beneath the crust and atmosphere.
