The atmosphere is cooler at higher altitudes primarily due to the decrease in air pressure and density. As altitude increases, the air expands and cools, as less energy is available to raise the temperature of the thinner air. Additionally, the Earth's surface absorbs sunlight and radiates heat, causing temperatures to be warmer closer to the ground. This phenomenon is influenced by factors such as the lapse rate, which describes the rate at which temperature decreases with elevation.
Cloud formation occurs higher up in the atmosphere because the air is cooler at higher altitudes, causing water vapor to condense and form clouds. Additionally, air pressure decreases with altitude, allowing the water vapor to rise and condense into clouds.
Clouds are in earth's atmosphere. Clouds form whem moisture in the air condenses, and usually conditions mnear the gcround are too warm for moisture to condense. Instead, clouds form at higher altitudes where it is cooler.
In the mornings, the sun is lower in the sky, so the sunlight has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere, which scatters and absorbs some of the sun's energy, resulting in cooler temperatures. By noon, the sun is higher in the sky, so sunlight reaches the Earth more directly and has less atmosphere to pass through, leading to warmer temperatures.
temperature and altitude
Upto Ozon Layer it get colder and then start increasing the temperature.......
because there's less atmosphere
less pressure and cooler temperature
The atmosphere gets colder as you go up. The reason is that the lower portion of the atmosphere is heated from below (by the heating of the land surface), and the higher you go the farther you are from the heat source, that is why it is cooler and covered in ice most of the time.
Cloud formation occurs higher up in the atmosphere because the air is cooler at higher altitudes, causing water vapor to condense and form clouds. Additionally, air pressure decreases with altitude, allowing the water vapor to rise and condense into clouds.
The atmosphere gets cooler at higher elevations because there are less atoms up there. Because there are less atoms, it feels colder because there is less thermal energy exchanged between the thermometer and the atoms in the air. Ex. a few atoms at 50 degrees would feel colder than a lot of atoms at 50 degrees.
The geosphere will warm the atmosphere.
The stratosphere is the second layer in the atmosphere, right above the troposphere. The air is warmer the higher you go up and cooler farther down. Commercial aircraft flies in the lower layer of the stratosphere.
Clouds are in earth's atmosphere. Clouds form whem moisture in the air condenses, and usually conditions mnear the gcround are too warm for moisture to condense. Instead, clouds form at higher altitudes where it is cooler.
When the atmosphere is cooler than the geosphere, the process of condensation occurs. This is when water vapor in the air changes into liquid water as it comes into contact with cooler surfaces.
The temperature of the atmosphere reduces with height. Mountains are high, thus cooler.
In the mornings, the sun is lower in the sky, so the sunlight has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere, which scatters and absorbs some of the sun's energy, resulting in cooler temperatures. By noon, the sun is higher in the sky, so sunlight reaches the Earth more directly and has less atmosphere to pass through, leading to warmer temperatures.
The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, where most weather events occur and the majority of clouds are found. It extends from the Earth's surface up to about 10-15 kilometers in altitude. This layer contains most of the atmosphere's mass and the air becomes cooler as you move higher within it.
