In the troposphere, temperatures decrease with altitude (air pressure), in the effect known as the adiabatic lapse rate (9.8 °C per thousand feet).

Does temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the mesosphere?
The temperature in the troposphere and the mesosphere decrease with altitude.
Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitiude in the troposphere?
The temperature decreases with altitude.
Troposphere increase or decrease in air temp?
The temperature of the Troposphere generally decreases as altitude increases.
Does the temperature in the troposphere increase as the altitude increases?
No, the temperature in the troposphere decreases as the altitude increases.
In the troposphere which decreases as altitude increase?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases in the troposphere
As altitude increases in the Troposphere does the temperature increase?
No, the temperature does not increase in fact it decreases as the altitude increases yes it does.
What forces the temperature to increase with the altitude in the troposphere?
If the temperature increases with increasing altitude in the troposphere, then a temperature inversion exists. All the weather that we are primarily interested in, occurs in the troposphere.
Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the tropospere?
Decrease
How does the temperature of the air change as you increase in altitude in the troposphere?
The temp rises
Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the thermoshpere?
The temperature increases like the stratosphere
What happens to the temperature as you increase in altitude in the troposphere?
It keeps getting colder. (to about -70 degrees F).
As you go up in altitude going higher in the atmosphere does the temperature of the air in the troposphere increase or decrease?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from the earth into the atmosphere. Think of it as the air above you pushes down on you. The farther up you go, the less air is above you to push down. Air temp also decreases as you go up.
