The layer with the coldest temperatures, reaching around -100°C, is the mesosphere. This atmospheric layer extends from about 50 to 85 kilometers (31 to 53 miles) above the Earth's surface. In the mesosphere, temperatures decrease with altitude, and the coldest temperatures typically occur near the mesopause, the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere.
