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.

Why temperature outside the plane is lowest when at high altitude?
Because - the further you are away from the Earth's surface - the lower the temperature is.
Is there more gravity on Earth than on Jupiter?
The planet Uranus is more massive than the Earth and has a stronger gravitational field. So you could say that Uranus has more gravity.
What is Jupiter's surface pressure?
Neptune's atmosphere is sub-divided into two main regions; the lower troposphere, where temperature decreases with altitude, and the stratosphere, where temperature increases with altitude. The boundary between the two, the tropopause, occurs at a pressure of 0.1 bars (10 kPa). The stratosphere then gives way to the thermosphere at a pressure lower than 10−5 to 10−4 microbars
How can a red giant become brighter if it now has a lower surface temperature?
how can a red giant star become brighter if it now has a lower surface temp
Does it snow on Jupiter?
No. Jupiter is composed almost completely of hydrogen, which becomes a slurry at lower elevations and eventually liquid hydrogen. There's no clear boundary between the atmosphere and surface of Jupiter. It does, however, snow on Jupiter Peak, in Utah.
Jupiter has a lower what from earth?
Jupiter has a lower temperature than earth. Earth: 59 degrees F. (15 degrees C.) Jupiter: -234 degrees F. (-148 degrees C.)
Why temperature outside the plane is lowest when at high altitude?
Because - the further you are away from the Earth's surface - the lower the temperature is.
Is jupiters atmosphere hot or cold?
Hot and cold are comparative terms. It is colder on Jupiter's surface than it is on Earth's surface, by mean. Wikipedia gives the mean surface temperature as 112-165 K, which translates to about -108 Celsius and lower (consider +21 Celsius is recognized as standard room temperature on earth). The coldest temperatures ever verified on earth seem to rank at around -90 Celsius in what are essentially uninhabitable areas. An important realization is that, due to many factors, Earth's temperature is extremely consistent. A mean temperature hides the fact that other planets undergo 'daily' cycles that range in temperature by hundreds of Celsius. If that happened on Earth, we wouldn't last very long. Caveats to this question/answer include: Fluctuations of temperature according to location on Jupiter/Earth, where Jupiter/Earth is in its orbit, where you even define 'surface' to be on a gas giant, etc etc.
Examples of how the earth's surface properties influence air temperature in the lower troposphere?
Read your text book
Are the temperature of the moon are higher or lower than the earth?
the temperature of the earth is lower than the Earth.
If the Jupiter is much larger than the earth why does it have lower density?
because jupiter is a gaseous planet while earth is rocky.
What sentence can you use for forecast?
the external remparture of the earth is much lower than the temperature far beneath the earths surface
Is there more gravity on Earth than on Jupiter?
The planet Uranus is more massive than the Earth and has a stronger gravitational field. So you could say that Uranus has more gravity.

What are some solutions to lower sea surface temperatures?
Ocean stratification is one of the solutions to lower the sea surface temperature.
Which has a lower temperature earth or Mars?
Mars does!!!
Why do sunspots appeared black when observed from earth?
The relative temperature of sunspots is lower than the surrounding temperature of the sun's surface. Since we adjust our camera's to the high temperature of the sun the relatively cooler sunspots appear black to us.
