In the broadest terms, higher = colder. There are some minor thermal layering effects but as you go up, the temperature drops until it reaches an average temperature of 2.725 K (-270 C / -455 F) at the edge of the Exosphere.

Atmospheric temperature is a measure of temperature at different levels of the Earth's atmosphere. It is governed by many factors, including incoming solar radiation, humidity and altitude. When discussing surface temperature, the annual atmospheric temperature range at any geographical location depends largely upon the type of biome, as measured by the Köppen climate classification.

The temperature of the Earth's atmosphere varies with altitude; the relationship between temperature and altitude varies between the different atmospheric layers:

- troposphere - 0 - 7/17 km, temperature decreasing with height.

- stratosphere - 7/17 - 50 km, temperature increasing with height.

- mesosphere - 50 - 80/85 km, temperature decreasing with height.

- thermosphere - 80/85 - 640+ km, temperature increasing with height.

The boundaries between these regions are named the tropopause, stratopause and mesopause.

laps rate states that the higher. you go skywards the cooler it becomes.this means that temperature is inversely proportional to height

the higher you go the colder it generally is

How is altitude related to temperature and pressure?

Screw Science.


What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the exosphere?

as altitude increases temperature decreases


How does altitude relate to temperature?

The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.


When altitude increases temperature does what?

Temperature decreases as altitude increases.


Does temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the mesosphere?

The temperature in the troposphere and the mesosphere decrease with altitude.


Does the temperature in the troposphere increase as the altitude increases?

No, the temperature in the troposphere decreases as the altitude increases.


WHAT Is the difference between stratosphere and mesosphere?

The stratosphere's temperature increases as altitude increases. The mesosphere's temperature decreases as it's altitude increases. This is helpful


Does air pressure and temperature change with altitude?

Yes; the pressure and temperature decreases with higher altitude.


As altitude increases in the Troposphere does the temperature increase?

No, the temperature does not increase in fact it decreases as the altitude increases yes it does.


What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in a Noise?

A: There is a direct relationship between altitude and temperature. As altitude increases there is less air available to remove the dissipated heat therefore locally the temperature rises but environment temperature as a whole decreases. I don't see any relationship with any noise with altitude


This is the effect on temperature when altitude increases.?

At high altitude the temeperature is lower.


What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in a temperature inversion?

Normally, temperature decreases as altitude increases. In a temperature inversion, the temperature increases as altitude increases, up to the level of air that is causing the inversion. See "Temperature change as altitude increases?" for info on how temperature normally decreases with altitude when there is not a temperature inversion.The rate at which the temperature goes down is down 1.1 degrees celsius for every 500 feet you go up.
