With altitude, gravitational pull on the air decreases, which means the air expands and air pressure drops. When any gas expands, it cools off.
As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. As altitude decreases, air pressure increases.
The higher the altitude the colder it gets and as it leaves the troposphere (Where we are) it enters the mesosphere and it is about as -85 degrees
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure. This is because the troposphere is the layer closest to the Earth's surface. As a result, the air is quite dense in the troposphere. As pressure is directly proportional to density, it means that the atmospheric pressure would be greatest in the troposphere.
Because of the temperature in the troposphere that decreases as the altitude also lowers, convection only happens on it and not in the stratosphere. Also, because of the warm air from the land that is rising to the troposphere it becomes denser than the air above it that makes convection only happen in the said layer.
In the troposphere, temperatures decrease with altitude (air pressure), in the effect known as the adiabatic lapse rate (9.8 °C per thousand feet).
The temperature of the Troposphere generally decreases as altitude increases.
As the altitude increases in the Troposphere, The air temperature decreases. When about 1 kilometer increases in altitude, the air cools about 6.5 degrees Celsius. And at the very top of the Troposphere the air temperature stays the same at around -60 degrees Celsius.
As the altitude increases in the Troposphere, The air temperature decreases. When about 1 kilometer increases in altitude, the air cools about 6.5 degrees Celsius. And at the very top of the Troposphere the air temperature stays the same at around -60 degrees Celsius.

Because of less gravity in high altitude
With altitude, gravitational pull on the air decreases, which means the air expands and air pressure drops. When any gas expands, it cools off.
The troposphere. The troposphere is one of the four layers of the atmosphere (0-10km in altitude) containing water vapour. Clouds are formed by water condensing and as air cools. This is why cloud formation is possible because the temperature of the troposphere decreases with altitude.
As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. As altitude decreases, air pressure increases.
