In the simplest terms, the atmosphere is gaseous. Gas expands infinitely unless contained by a solid, until it event dissipates. While the atmosphere is a continuous concentration of gas, it is very difficult to define its absolute top.

Why is the temperature on the surface of Jupiter much lower than that on earth?

The "Surface" of Jupiter is hard to define as it is a gas giant but the top of the atmosphere (however you want ti define that) is cold due to heat radiating into space. Jupiter is so much farther from the Sun than Earth is, the Sun cannot heat Jupiter's atmosphere. And the heat form the interior (it is actually hotter than the surface of the Sun deep inside Jupiter!) dissipates into space.
