I'm not sure exactly what this means. However it is possible for the
temperature in some parts of the atmosphere to be higher than the surface
temperature of a planet.

Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
How does the temperature of the air molecules change at each level of the atmosphere?
The air molecules expand as it gets higher and higher into the atmosphere. the molecules expand.
Why is the temperature higher on these 4 inner planets than the 5 outer planets?
Because they 4 inner planets are nearer the Sun, which warms them with its heat.
What generalization can you make about the relationship of temperature to the amount of carbon dioxide in the air?
The more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the higher the temperature.
From the graph can you generalize that the higher the layer of the athmosphere (that is closer to the sun) hotter temperature why or why not?

Why is the temperature on Venus higher than the temperature on the other planets soloar system?
It's mainly to do with its closeness to the sun, compared with the other planets. Although mercury is closer, Venus is hotter due to it's thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, which holds the energy from the sun a lot better than mercury, which has no atmosphere.
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the temperature increase or decrease?
decrease
How does temperature influence the amount of moisture in the atmosphere?
the higher the temperature, the more moisture.
What process traps heat from the sun in the atmosphere of planets making their average surface temperature much higher?
The greenhouse effect traps heat from the Sun. Venus and Earth display good

What happens to the air temperature as you move higher into the atmosphere?
it gets coolder
What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?
temperature and altitude
How does the characteristics of the atmosphere change as you go higher?
less pressure and cooler temperature
