Temperatures are cooler in an environment where the air is thinner. A heavier atmosphere at lower altitudes acts like a green house and maintains a warmer climate.
If you were floating in space above the earth's atmosphere, you're closer to the sun than the earth, yet you will freeze to death in the vacuum of space.
No.
It is, even though Vincent's feelings are the important part of it.

In the past, Stone Mountain had been a habitual meeting place for the Ku Klux Klan. When the clan burned a cross on the summit, the fire could be seen in Atlanta, and the Klan had even planned to have the face of the mountain carved into a likeness of Robert E. Lee. This fell through, and the sculptor eventually took on the less dubious task of carving Mount Rushmore.
The top of a mountain is closer to the sun than the land around during the day it, but given that the sun is more than 90 million miles away, that difference is negligible. The higher you go up in the atmosphere, the colder it gets. This is because the air at high altitudes is less compressed than the air at low altitudes. When a gas is decompressed, it cools.
The sun is about 93 million miles away. Going up a mountain so that you're a mile closer does nothing at all. The temperature is colder because air pressure at those elevations is lower, and these two variables are directly related.
Because Alaska is closer to the North Pole, and because the higher the elevation, the colder it is, there is snow on the mountain peaks even during the summer. I used to live in Alaska, so I know a little bit about it.
Although Pluto is colder than Neptune (our coldest planet), Eris is both larger and colder than Pluto. Eris is quite a bit further from our sun than Pluto, whereas Pluto is sometimes closer than Neptune. Even when Pluto is closer to the sun, it still doesn't get warmer than Neptune, as Neptune possesses a small amount of internally generated heat.
Yes they can. Even though they originally came from India, they survive perfectly well in colder climates.
Metal has a higher thermal conductivity, which means it moves heat much faster to / from your hand. So your hand feels "closer" to the contents in the mug.
the moon is closer................ 4 example........... i can cover a whole building with my hand if my hand is closer to my face than the building, even though the building is bigger than my hand........................ get it?
The highest pont in Florida is only 345 ft above sea level. The "snow capped mountain" in Hawaii is Mauna Kea 13,796 ft above sea level. Air is colder at higher elevations. (I used to go to the observatory on Mauna Kea- people look at you funny when you get on an airplane in Hawaii carrying a parka!)
No. The activity rate declines exponentially but mathematically, even though it gets closer and closer to zero, it can never attain that value.
Yes but only a maximum for two hours. Even though rabbits have a warm coat, if you stay too long in cold weather without moving, you gradually get colder and colder.
The main reason is that it's usually a lot closer even though it's a lot smaller.
Since the earths orbit is not exactly even, when we are closer to the earth it causes warmer seasons and when we are further away it causes colder seasons.)
