A correlation and linear regression analysis is performed between neutral temperatures of the mesosphere and the solar activity parameter. The study covers the 1971-1982 period, annually and seasonally, using four well-distributed stations to determine the magnitude and extent of mesospheric temperature variations with the 11-year solar cycle. The computed coefficients between temperature and sunspot number show strong, positive, and highly significant values. The mesospheric temperature shows an almost in-phase relationship with solar cycle variations in all latitude zones. The magnitude of mesospheric heating during the period of elevated solar activity is highest in the Antarctic and decreases gradually toward the Arctic. Mesospheric heating between solar minimum and maximum is highest in the 65-70 km region of the atmosphere.
