Yes it does but the rate changes depending on what you come across. But yes, it does decrease.

Does temperature affect air pressure?

In the atmosphere increasing the temperature the pressure decrease.


How does the temperature of the troposphere change as altitude increases?

As the altitude increases, the temperature in the troposphere will decrease. The troposphere is the lowest portion of planet's atmosphere.


Does temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the mesosphere?

The temperature in the troposphere and the mesosphere decrease with altitude.


How can altitude change the temperature?

As you gain altitude in the troposphere, the layer of atmosphere closest to the ground and extending about 8 miles up, the temperature will decrease by 1 degree Fahrenheit for every 200 feet.


Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the tropospere?

Decrease


The earth's atmosphere is divided into layers based on changes in the vertical profile of?

The layers are defined primarily by the "lapse rate", or change in temperature with increasing altitude. The lapse rate is negative (temperature falls) in the troposphere, but positive (temperature rises) in the stratosphere. Temperatures decrease again when ascending into the Mesosphere.


In which layer does temperature decrease as altitude increases?

Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.


In which layers does the temperature decrease as altitude increases?

Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.


When altitude increases does air density?

The density of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.


What increases when the temperature of air decrease?

altitude


Why doe the amount of water vapour decrease rapidly with altitude?

To know the reason behind it remember one thing that with increasing altitude the temperature decreases eg. in may month there will be high temperature in mumbai that is at low altitude and comparatively low temperature in himalayan region (eg. srinagar) that is at high altitude.Now as we know that high temperature increases the rate of evaporation and if the rate of evaporation is increased through leaves then more water will go into atmosphere and humidity will increase and this gives us our answer that is...............at high altitude because of low temperature the evaporation rate decreases and thus there are less water vapour in atmosphere as compared to low altitude areas where there is high temperature and high vapour rate in air due to evaporation


Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitiude in the troposphere?

The temperature decreases with altitude.
