It's cold on top of mountains because expanding air becomes cooler by adiabatic expansion. If you let the air out of your tires, the valve stem becomes cold. It's the same phenomenon.
Mountain tops also have less overlying water vapor, so they are cooled by radiation to space more strongly than the low lands.

Is Betelgeuse cooler than our sun?

Is Jupiter colder than Mars?
No, Jupiter is not colder than Mars. Jupiter is a gas giant planet located further from the Sun and has a thick atmosphere which traps heat, making it much hotter than Mars. Mars, being a rocky planet further from the Sun, has a colder average temperature.
Where does colder than a witches tit originate from?
The phrase "colder than a witch's tit" is an idiom that likely originated from the association of witches with cold and supernatural elements in folklore. It is a humorous way to describe extremely cold weather.
Is Saturn hotter than Mars?
Saturn is both hotter and colder than Earth. Saturn is a gas giant planet with a deep atmosphere of hydrogen, crushingly dense near the rocky core. The outer clouds are too cold, more than a hundred degrees below freezing, but the pressure farther down raises the temperature to hotter than the surface of the Sun.
Are mountaintops colder than valleys?
Yes,because the higher you go the colder you get. The temperature drops to 11 degrees
Why does snow stay on mountaintops?
In general because its colder up there.
Why are mountaintops colder than lowlands?
Mountaintops are colder than the lowlands because the Sun heats the Earth from the ground up. The Sun's radiation travels through the atmosphere to the ground, where Earth absorbs the heat then emits it back out. So, temperatures near the Earth's surface is generally the warmest.
Why is it colder on mountaintops than down below?
Because, taller mountains are high enough to reach the next layer of the atmosphere, which tends to be colder because the sun's radiation is mostly deflected at the top. The bottom layer is alot warmer because of the greenhouse effect.
Why is Philadelphia colder than New York City?

Which is colder -3 or -5?
-5 is colder than -3. The lower the temperature, the colder it is.
Are mountaintops typically colder than lowlands?
when the sun shines the denser air over the valley of a mountain gets warmed up.These warmed air rises up and reaches the mountain tops.As it reaches the mountain tops it expands adiabatically because the pressure at mountain tos is low
Why does it snow more in mountaintops then in lower altitudes?
It is cold at very high elevations. Most rain originates as snow at high elevation, which then melts before reaching the ground.
Which is colder -18c or -9.6c?
18 is colder than 9.6
