Why doesn't air from the troposphere and the stratosphere mix freely?

• • 1.Air Temperature 2.Air Density 3.Air Pressure 4.UV High energy light 1.Cooler, Denser air & Hotter, less dense air. -Troposphere is less hot than stratosphere. Colder air stays below. Hotter air stays above. 2.Cooler, Denser air & Hotter, less dense air. -Cooler air is denser. Dense things are heavy. Heavy things stay below. Visa-versa. 3.Air pressure and the density of the air also decrease with altitude. -Temperature is directly proportional to pressure If air pressure increases, the temperature must increase.  If air pressure decreases, the temperature decreases. Up above @stratosphere pressure is less. Less pressure; less temperature. Less temperature; colder air. Because of no air turning over, Stratosphere is still hotter than Troposphere e...
