Explanation:

In the stratosphere, ozone (\(O_3\)) molecules play a crucial role. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun has high - energy. When ozone molecules absorb UV radiation, they gain energy. This energy absorption leads to an increase in the temperature of the stratosphere. As altitude increases within the ozone - containing part of the stratosphere (the ozone layer), there is more ozone (up to a certain point) to absorb the UV radiation, causing the temperature to rise with altitude.

Answer:

ozone; ultraviolet; Sun
