Temperature changes with an increase or decrease of altitude. This change is known as the "lapse rate" and it varies depending on the amount of moisture in the particular mass of air. The "dry adiabatic lapse rate" (for dry air masses) is a temperature decrease of about 3 degrees C per thousand feet of altitude, while the "wet adiabatic lapse rate" (for moist air masses) is a temperature decrease of about 1.66 degrees C per thousand feet of altitude.
For average conditions, a figure of 3.5 degrees F (2 degrees C) per 1000 feet is commonly used.
Temperature does not affect altitude, altitude affects temperature.
Within the troposphere temperature decreases with increasing altitude.
because you get closer to space and in space there is no atmosphere
The higher you go, the colder it gets. For example, it is colder in the mountains than on a plain or by the ocean
Air temperature decreases on increasing altitude.
the higher you go the thiner the air and this makes the temp. go down
Sea shore temperature is affected by distance in sea and mountain temperature is affected by altitude.. Sea shore and mountain are both cool but differ in the above...
as altitude increases temperature decreases
Temperature decreases as altitude increases.
The temperature in the troposphere and the mesosphere decrease with altitude.
- Latitude - Ocean Currents - Altitude - Bodies of Water - Mountain Barriers

The boiling point temperature is lower at low pressure (altitude).
how does is wind speed affected by altitude
Wind speed generally increases with altitude. This is due to a decrease in surface friction and obstacles that slow down the wind closer to the ground. As air is less hindered by obstacles at higher altitudes, it can flow more freely and result in higher wind speeds.
It typically gets colder the higher you go depending on which layer of the atmosphere you are in.
as altitude increases temperature decreases
The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.
Temperature decreases as altitude increases.
it is affected by the latitude and it's altitude
The temperature in the troposphere and the mesosphere decrease with altitude.
No, the temperature in the troposphere decreases as the altitude increases.
The change in pressure is highly affected by altitude.
