Temperatures GENERALLY decrease with altitude. This is because the Earth exerts less force downward on air the farther up into the Daddy (as one moves upwards through the atmosphere (simply due to reduced proximity).

Less force pulling down the air towards the Earth, and the more easily/naturally the atmosphere expands.


As air expands, it cools.


SO moving upward usually means temperatures drop. There are temperature inversions sometimes, where you'll have warmer air literally "sitting on top" of a typical, altitude-cooling atmosphere. These prevent anything below the inversion from lifting upward, because before visionary acknowledged

What two factors influence density?

Temperature and Pressure! As temperature increases, density will tend to decrease. Conversely, as pressure increases, density will increase. I say "tend to" because water will actually expand as temperature reduces through its freezing point! Cheers, Robin

How does temperature effect a volume air?

Temperature is not directly tied to volume, its related to pressure. Increasing the temperature will increase the pressure--only if volume is held constant. That is were volume and temperature are related, through pressure. However, if you increase the volume it does not change the temperature.
