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.
Yes, air pressure decreases with altitude because the atmosphere becomes less dense. In contrast, temperature changes can vary with altitude; typically, temperature decreases with altitude, but there are atmospheric layers where temperature may increase, known as inversions.
Altitude doesn't change uniformly because the four main layers of the atmosphere have different temperature gradients, creating the thermal structure of the atmosphere.
it is a deviation from the normal change of atmospheric properties with altitude
As you increase in altitude in the troposphere, the temperature usually decreases. This is because the air becomes less dense with higher altitude, leading to less heat retention and a decrease in temperature.
As you move from the troposphere (closest to the surface) to the stratosphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude due to the decreasing density of the air. In the stratosphere, temperature starts to increase with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone. Overall, the trend is a decrease in temperature with altitude in the troposphere and an increase in temperature with altitude in the stratosphere.
pressure and temperature.
As altitude increases by 1000 feet, the temperature typically decreases by about 3.5F. This change in temperature can impact weather patterns by influencing air pressure, wind patterns, and the formation of clouds and precipitation.
The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.
Air pressure and temperature do not change in the same way with altitude. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases because there is less air mass above pushing down. This leads to a decrease in temperature with altitude at a rate of about 2 degrees Celsius per 1,000 feet due to the decrease in pressure causing the air to expand and cool.
The composition of air depends upon altitude.
Normally, temperature decreases as altitude increases. In a temperature inversion, the temperature increases as altitude increases, up to the level of air that is causing the inversion. See "Temperature change as altitude increases?" for info on how temperature normally decreases with altitude when there is not a temperature inversion.The rate at which the temperature goes down is down 1.1 degrees celsius for every 500 feet you go up.
In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases as altitude increases. This is due to the decreasing air pressure and the fact that the upper regions of the troposphere are cooler due to their distance from the Earth's surface.
