Each 1000ft of ascent will bring a cooling of about 3 degrees Centigrade, so at 15000 feet the temperature would have fallen by 45 Centigrade degrees. That seems a lot but that was our basic guide in wartime when we learned to fly. If the cockpit canopy didn't close too well your nose would suffer unless it was inside your flying mask.

How does altitude relate to temperature?

The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.


List the layers of the atmosphere in order starting with the one closest to Earth and describe how temperature changes as altitude increases.?

The layers of the atmosphere, starting from the Earth’s surface, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude. However, in the stratosphere, temperature starts to increase with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. In the mesosphere, temperatures again decrease with altitude, while in the thermosphere, temperatures rise dramatically 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


List three changes in the atmosphere as altitude increases from sea level upward?

As altitude increases, air pressure decreases due to lower density of air molecules at higher altitudes. The temperature typically decreases with altitude as the atmosphere becomes thinner and can't retain heat as effectively. Humidity levels may fluctuate, but generally moisture content decreases with altitude, leading to drier conditions.


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

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

How temperature changes with increased elevation?

At higher altitude the temperature is lower.


Does air pressure and temperature change with altitude?

Yes, air pressure decreases with altitude because the atmosphere becomes less dense. In contrast, temperature changes can vary with altitude; typically, temperature decreases with altitude, but there are atmospheric layers where temperature may increase, known as inversions.


What is the pattern of temperature changes within each layer of the atmosphere?

In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude due to decreasing air pressure. In the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by the ozone layer. In the mesosphere, temperature decreases with altitude. In the thermosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of high-energy solar radiation.


How the temperature changes with altitude in the thermosphere?

The temperature changes when the sun cools down and for anymore questions please contact me at this number 732-621-7062 thank you


Air temperature changes as altitude increases because of?

it is awesome this answer is gravities pull on oxygen


This is the effect on temperature when altitude increases.?

As altitude increases, temperature generally decreases by about 6.5 degrees Celsius per kilometer due to the decrease in air pressure with altitude. This is known as the adiabatic lapse rate. However, local weather patterns and geographical features can also influence temperature changes with altitude.


How are the four main layers of the atmosphere classified according to changes in temperature?

The four main layers of the atmosphere are classified based on their temperature changes as follows: the troposphere where temperature decreases with altitude, the stratosphere where temperature rises with altitude due to the ozone layer, the mesosphere where temperature decreases again, and the thermosphere where temperature increases significantly due to absorption of solar radiation.


What describes the way air temperature changes with altitude?

The lapse rate describes how air temperature changes with altitude. On average, the temperature decreases by about 6.5°C per kilometer in the troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. This is known as the environmental lapse rate.


Why do scientists recognize a boundary between layers at about 12 kilometers above sea level?

the way the altitude changes the temperature changes


The temperature in the air hardly changes in what atmosphere?

The temperature in the stratosphere hardly changes with altitude, making it a stable atmospheric layer. This is due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer.


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.


How does altitude relate to temperature?

The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.
