The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.
