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.

How does temperature change as you go through the atmosphere?

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.


What is the difference between stratosphere and toposphere?

Troposphere: Temperature decreases with hight Stratosphere : Temperature increases with height


What does prefix tropo in troposphere mean?

The prefix tropo- denoting turning, a change, is derived from the Greek word tropos, a turning.The troposphere is the lowest level of atmosphere in which the temperature falls as height increases.


How does temperature change as you go higher through the atmosphere?

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.


What is the standard temperature lapse rate in the troposphere?

The standard temperature lapse rate or environmental lapse rate as it is more commonly known is basically the temperature difference between the tropopause surface divided by height. This uses the formula -dT/dz and essentially shows the temperature decreasing as the height above the tropopause increases.


What is the height and temperature of the tropopause?

what is the approximate height and temperature of the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere?


What causes the temperature decreasing with height in the troposphere?

The air is thinner


What layer of the atmosphere decreases with increasing height?

As altitude increases the temperature in the troposphere and the mesosphere drop. In the troposphere the temperature drops because the air is becoming further away from it's source of heat, the earth's surface. In the mesosphere a drop in temperature occurs as altitude increases because air becomes further away from it's heat source, the ozone layer. The layers as they appear closest to the earth's surface and moving away are: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Weather occurs only in the troposphere.

Why does temperature increase with height through the stratosphere?

Ozone absorbs more ultraviolet radiation than does air in the troposphere. As a result, the stratosphere is heated, and air gradually increases in temperature to the top of the layer, called the startopause.
