2 degrees per 1000 ft is general answer
Yes, it is though altitude of the thermosphere temperature increases as we exceed through-A 6th Grader
Generally speaking, temperature decreases with altitude up to about 10km, then gradually incrases again peaking at around 50km, then falls off again until about 90km, then starts increasing again.
Yes the temperature changes both vertically (from the ground to space) and horizontally (from the equator to the poles).
At the cloud tops, the temperature is about -145 degrees C. The pressure of the atmosphere is 10 times what we have on Earth, the temperatures are room temperature or 20 degrees C. The centre of the planet is about 35,700 degrees C. The answer depends on how deep you are into Jupiter's atmosphere. Jupiter is a "gas giant", so it has no surface as we would conceive of. It does, however, have clouds; and at the top of the clouds, the temperature is around -130c. The temperature increases gradually with increasing depth, as you sink through the cloud layers. There is a region where temperatures and pressures are similar to those on the Earth; it had been supposed there were water clouds there, and possibly life - but the space probe dispatched by Galileo found no water clouds. The temperature then increases to hundreds and eventually thousands of degrees (at which depths there would be no daylight) - at which point the hydrogen/ helium atmosphere slowly becomes liquid under the pressure. Estimates for the temperature of the solid rocky core, some 60,000km deep into the planet, vary from 30,000 to 250,000c.
The higher in the sky the sun is the more solar radiation received at the surface. This is because as the sun gets higher in the sky, there is less atmosphere blocking the sun's rays. Imagine the sun going through the atmosphere at a 90 degree angle. The thickness of the atmosphere let say is x thick. As the sun hit the surface at a lower angle, the thickness of the atmosphere has to go through more atmosphere to get to the surface. So the thicker atmosphere blocks more of the sun's rays.
The temperature in the atmosphere decreases as altitude increases. The reason for this is there is less warmth from the surface of the earth reaching the higher altitudes because there are fewer particles of the atmosphere to transfer the heat. The temperature begins to increase, however, around 100km in altitude because of the heat and radiation from the sun.

There are four layers of the atmosphere. At the ground is the troposphere, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Temperature decreases with height through the troposphere, increases in the stratosphere, decreases in the mesosphere, then increases again in the thermosphere.

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
Air cools becuase when its rising through the atmosphere altitude decreases temperature, and when air rises its temperature drops at the dry abiatic rate. This type of cooling is known as adiabatic.

as altitude increases in the troposphere the temp. decreases. on average for every 1 kilometer increase in altitude the air gets about 6.5 Celsius degrees cool.
As you move up through the mesosphere the temperature increases.
