On average, the temperature decreases by around 3.5°F for every 1,000 feet increase in elevation, known as the lapse rate. At 8,000 feet altitude, you can expect the temperature to be around 28°F cooler than at ground level, so it would be approximately 42°F at that height if the ground temperature is 70°F.

How can altitude change the temperature?

As you gain altitude in the troposphere, the layer of atmosphere closest to the ground and extending about 8 miles up, the temperature will decrease by 1 degree Fahrenheit for every 200 feet.

What is altitude?

== == Science Major: Altitude is height above mean sea level (MSL) or true altitude, which means in reference to what sea level is on the ground, or height above ground level (AGL), which is also called absolute altitude, which means height above the ground with no reference to the ground's height above sea level. In example, if the sea level in a certain place is 100 feet and you are 250 feet above the ground, your altitude above sea level would be 350 feet, and your altitude above ground level would be 250 feet.

If you were on an airplane about 26000 above the ground and each mile equals 5280 what was the approximate temperature at 26000 feet?

On average, the temperature drops by 2 degrees Celsius for every 1,000 feet of altitude gained. So, 26,000 feet x 2 degrees Celsius = a 52 degree difference from the ground, in Celsius. To convert to Fahrenheit, remember the temperature drops by 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, on average, for every 1,000 feet of altitude gained. So if your having a 100 degree heatwave on the ground, don't lick any poles up top. . . The temperature will be a balmy 6.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
