Temperature wavers up and down as you go higher from Earth. It steadily increases for some distance, then reaches a maximum and begins decreasing, After a minimum, it again increases without bound, all the way into space.
The increase is due to the effects of atmospheric warming, which traps energy in the air and at a peak at around certain heights. After this, there is not enough air to keep energy trapped and it escapes outwards. Above that, there are few enough particles but they travel extremely fast, hence they have an enormous temperature while the same volume contains a lot less energy.

In which layers does the temperature decrease as altitude increases?
Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
What forces the temperature to increase with the altitude in the troposphere?
If the temperature increases with increasing altitude in the troposphere, then a temperature inversion exists. All the weather that we are primarily interested in, occurs in the troposphere.
Why does temperature rise as altitude increases in the stratosphere?
It begins to get warmer from the sun's radiation.
As temperature drops altitude increases- temperatures can be low as -93 degrees Celsius which layer of the atmosphere is this?
That would be up near the top of the troposphere, unless you're near the poles.
What layer does the jet stream flow below?
The main jet streams are located near the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with altitude) and the stratosphere(where temperature increases with altitude).
When altitude increases temperature does what?
Temperature decreases as 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 the temperature in the troposphere increase as the altitude increases?
No, the temperature in the troposphere decreases as the altitude increases.
Which decreases as altitude increases?
As altitude increases pressure and temperature decrease.
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 happens to temperature in the thermosphere when altitude increases?
It increases.
What happens as the altitude of the sun increases?
There are many things that could happen as the altitude of the sun increases. As altitude increases the temperature usually does too.
How does the temperature of the troposphere change as altitude increases?
As the altitude increases, the temperature in the troposphere will decrease. The troposphere is the lowest portion of planet's atmosphere.
In which layer does temperature decrease as altitude increases?
Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
In which layers does the temperature decrease as altitude increases?
Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
This is the effect on temperature when altitude increases.?
At high altitude the temeperature is lower.
When does temperature occur?
A layer in the atmosphere in which temperature increases with altitude.
