Because when the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface, they make it hot. As we, by whatever means, move upwards, the heat of the Earth's surface will decrease because we move away from it. The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, up to a certain height, and from there it stabilizes. And this within the terrestrial domain
What else can I help you with?
How does altitude relate to climate?
The higher the altitude the colder the climate, the warmer the climate the lower the altitude.
Why is it colder the higher you go in altitude?
As you go higher in altitude, the air becomes thinner and less dense. Thinner air is not able to hold heat as well as denser air, so the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. This is why it is colder the higher you go in altitude.
Why is the climate colder as you go up a mountain?
Because of the altitude.
What condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude?
high temperatures
What kind of climate occurs in high altitude?
Colder climates in higher altitudes.
Why are the highland regions colder than the surrounding regions?
Temperature decreases with altitude
Why is Arizona colder than Minnesota?
Altitude of the particular PART of Arizona OR jetstream activity.
What happens to the temperature of air as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, the temperature of air generally decreases at a rate of about 5.4°F per 1000 feet. This is known as the lapse rate, and it occurs due to the decrease in air pressure with increasing altitude.
Do new mexico life zones get colder and wetter or hotter and dryer as they become higher in altitude?
yes in fact the higher you are in altitude the golder and wetter it gets
How can warm air cool off?
in the lower atmosphere the air gets colder with increasing altitude.
What is the main difference between the four layers of the atmosphere?
The main difference between the four layers of the atmosphere (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere) is their temperature profile. The troposphere gets colder with altitude, the stratosphere gets warmer with altitude, the mesosphere gets colder with altitude again, and the thermosphere experiences high temperatures due to absorption of solar radiation.
How is temperature affected by changes in altitude?
It typically gets colder the higher you go depending on which layer of the atmosphere you are in.
