Does the temperature increase as you get higher up in the atmosphere?

As you get higher up in the atmosphere there is less and less air on top of your head so there is less weight, meaning there is less pressure. Gravity. Atmosphere will be more compact closer to Earth because particles in the air have mass and are thus pulled down by gravity.

How can a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase Earth's global temperature?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
Why does temperature in a thermometer go up faster when shaken?
because the more an object moves the higher the energy is making the temperature increase as well
How does temperature affects the rate of industrial reaction?
It depends. A higher temperature will speed up an endothermic reaction, but slow down an exothermic reaction.
When the temperature of a substance the motion of the atoms that make up that substance .?
Increase, increase
How can you increase the rate of dissolution?
One way is to grind up solid, or increase the temperature. Also, you can stir the solution, and then, there are enzymes.
What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?
temperature and altitude
How the temperature changes as you travel up through the atmosphere.?
The temperature in the atmosphere decreases as altitude increases. The reason for this is there is less warmth from the surface of the earth reaching the higher altitudes because there are fewer particles of the atmosphere to transfer the heat. The temperature begins to increase, however, around 100km in altitude because of the heat and radiation from the sun.

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.
Is it true photosynthesis continues to increase with temperature?
it is true that photosynthesis continues to increase with higher temperatures because it makes the process speed up.

because the more an object moves the higher the energy is making the temperature increase as well
Would you get hotter or colder as you went higher up in the atmosphere?
Upto Ozon Layer it get colder and then start increasing the temperature.......
Is the temperature in the troposhere warm or cold?
Cold because the higher up you go in the atmosphere the colder it gets, but the warmest layer of the atmosphere is the thermoshere. Also a good indication of the temperature of a layer in the atmosphere is to look at the weather, because on a good sized mountain there is snow at the top.
What is the layer that temperature increase in space?
The thermosphere is the outer layer of the atmosphere and is literally known as the heat sphere. The temperature can constantly rise in this layer and reach up to 1000 degrees Celsius.
How does the temperature chang as you travel up the atmosphere?
It gets colder as you travel up in the atmosphere.
How does the temperature changes as you travel up the atmosphere?
It gets colder as you travel up in the atmosphere.
