Heat from the sun (contrary to common opinion) heats the land and not the air. Some of the heat rises but even the best conductors of heat store some heat and the air stores some heat too so by the time you get really high up, very little heat reaches you thus the higher up you are, regardless of what layer of the atmosphere you are in, the colder things are.
What else can I help you with?
Troposphere increase or decrease in air temp?
The temperature in the troposphere generally decreases with increasing elevation, at a rate of about 6.5 degrees Celsius per 1,000 meters. This decrease in temperature is due to the decreasing density of air molecules at higher altitudes, which leads to less efficient heat transfer.

How does the temperature of the air change as you increase in altitude in the troposphere?
As you increase in altitude in the troposphere, the temperature usually decreases. This is because the air becomes less dense with higher altitude, leading to less heat retention and a decrease in temperature.
Why ice cream seller put salt in ice?
salt causes the temp of ice water to decrease.
What is the temp and altitude of the troposphere?
The troposphere ends at 16 km above the earths surface and ranges from 20 to -60 *C
What cause the temp to decrease with height in the troposphere?
Heat from the sun (contrary to common opinion) heats the land and not the air. Some of the heat rises but even the best conductors of heat store some heat and the air stores some heat too so by the time you get really high up, very little heat reaches you thus the higher up you are, regardless of what layer of the atmosphere you are in, the colder things are.
Why does cold affect the height a tennis ball bounces?
the cooler temp. causes the rubber content to shrink and become more of a solid state which in turn is not as flexible.
Describe the temperature changes that occur as you move upward through the troposphere?
The temperature gets colder as you go upward in the troposphere. Light from the Sun heats the ground. The warm ground gives off the heat as infrared "light". The IR energy heats the troposphere. The lowest part of the troposphere is the warmest because it is closest to the ground, where the heat is coming from.
As you go up in altitude going higher in the atmosphere does the temperature of the air in the troposphere increase or decrease?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from the earth into the atmosphere. Think of it as the air above you pushes down on you. The farther up you go, the less air is above you to push down. Air temp also decreases as you go up.
What causes the temp gauge to read hot when it is not?
A faulty temp sending unit can do that.
What happens to temperature as you go higher in the troposphere?
the temp goes down, the winds go up, and the pressure goes up...
As altitude increases from the tropopause to the mesopause the atmospheric temperature will?
Decrease. The tropopause marks the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere, where temperature generally decreases with altitude. This trend continues through the stratosphere and into the mesosphere until reaching the mesopause where temperatures are at their lowest in the upper atmosphere.
