Mountains tops tend to be cooler because of lower air pressure and thinner atmosphere, causing less heat retention. Valleys, on the other hand, trap heat due to being surrounded by higher elevation and less air circulation, resulting in warmer temperatures.
The higher altitude of the mountain-top results in lower air pressure and thinner atmosphere, causing less heat to be trapped. Additionally, mountain slopes receive less direct sunlight due to their orientation. In contrast, valleys are sheltered from wind and receive more direct sunlight, leading to higher temperatures.
