Describe the temperature changes that occur as you move upward through the troposphere?

The temperature gets colder as you go upward in the troposphere. Light from the Sun heats the ground. The warm ground gives off the heat as infrared "light". The IR energy heats the troposphere. The lowest part of the troposphere is the warmest because it is closest to the ground, where the heat is coming from.

Anyways, I am wondering the same thing myself. It's for a school project. If anyone knows, go ahead and change this answer.

How is heat mostly moved through the troposphere?
Convection currents move heat throughout the troposphere.
A balloon carrying weather instruments is released at Earth's surface and rises through the troposphere as the balloon rises what will the instrument generally indicate?
A increase in air temperature and a decrease in air pressure
What is one way that the earths surface can change slowly?
The earth's surface changes through erosion, due to wind, water, vegetation, ice or temperature
In which layer of the atmosphere does most of Earth's weather occur?
Ultimately, major driving forces of weather on earth are uneven heating of the surface and moisture. The vast majority of the moisture in Earth's atmosphere is in the troposphere. The amounts in other layers are generally inconsequential. The troposphere is also the only layer that interacts directly with Earth's surface and is impacted by surface temperature, moisture content and the terrain. The other layers do not encounter such varied environments and so are realtively uniform compared to the troposphere.
Why is life only found in the troposphere of the atmosphere?
They are condense.
How does the temperature change as we rise through the troposphere?

How does temperature change as you go through the atmosphere?
There are four layers of the atmosphere. At the ground is the troposphere, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Temperature decreases with height through the troposphere, increases in the stratosphere, decreases in the mesosphere, then increases again in the thermosphere.
How does the temperature changes as you travel through earths atmosphere?
It changes to a next temperture
How does temperature change as you go higher through the atmosphere?
There are four layers of the atmosphere. At the ground is the troposphere, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Temperature decreases with height through the troposphere, increases in the stratosphere, decreases in the mesosphere, then increases again in the thermosphere.
What is the lowest temperature in the trophosphere?
The troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, is heated from below. The troposphere is warmest at the bottom near Earth's surface. The troposphere is coldest at its top, where it meets up with the layer above (the stratosphere) at a boundary region called the tropopause. Temperatures drop as you move upward through the troposphere.Sunlight streams down from space through the atmosphere, striking the ground or ocean beneath. The sunlight heats the surface, and that surface radiates the heat into the adjacent atmosphere. Atmospheric scientists use a concept called a "standard atmosphere" to represent an average atmosphere with variations caused by weather, latitude, season, and so forth, removed. In the standard atmosphere model, the temperature at sea level at the bottom of the troposphere is 15° C (59° F). Higher up in the troposphere, where less heat from the surface warms the air, the temperature drops. Typically, the temperature drops about 6.5° C with each increase in altitude of 1 kilometer (about 3.6° F per 1,000 feet). The rate at which the temperature changes with altitude is called the "lapse rate". In the standard atmosphere, by the time you reach the top of the troposphere the temperature has fallen to a chilly -57° C (-70° F).Of course, the atmosphere is always changing and is never "standard". Temperatures in the troposphere, both at the surface and at various altitudes, do vary based on latitude, season, time of day or night, regional weather conditions, and so on. In some circumstances, the temperature at the top of the troposphere can be as low as -80° C (-110° F). When a weather phenomenon called at "temperature inversion" occurs, temperature in some part of the troposphere gets warmer with increasing altitude, contrary to the normal situation.In the layer above the troposphere, the stratosphere, temperature rises with increasing altitude. In the stratosphere, the air is heated from above by ultraviolet "light" which is absorbed by ozone molecules in the air. The tropopause is the boundary between the troposphere (below) and the stratosphere (above). The tropopause occurs where the temperature stops dropping with increasing altitude (in the troposphere) and begins climbing with increasing altitude (the stratosphere).
How is heat mostly moved through the troposphere?
Convection currents move heat throughout the troposphere.
Describe how each type of rock changes as it moves through the rock cycle?

What happens to the temperature of water as it travels through the water cycle?
It changes and stuff.
Why does temperature increase with height through the stratosphere?
Ozone absorbs more ultraviolet radiation than does air in the troposphere. As a result, the stratosphere is heated, and air gradually increases in temperature to the top of the layer, called the startopause.
Heat is moved through the troposphere mainly by.....?
Convection
Does the temperature change as you travel through the atmosphere?
Yes the temperature changes both vertically (from the ground to space) and horizontally (from the equator to the poles).
layers of the at?
The atmosphere can be divided into five layers based on temperature variations. The layer closest to the Earth is called the troposphere. Above this layer is the stratosphere, followed by the mesosphere, then the thermosphere. The upper boundaries between these layers are known as the tropopause, the stratopause, and the mesopause, respectively. Temperature variations in the four layers are due to the way solar energy is absorbed as it moves downward through the atmosphere. The Earth’s surface is the primary absorber of solar energy. Some of this energy is reradiated by the Earth as heat, which warms the overlying troposphere. The global average temperature in the troposphere rapidly decreases with altitude until the tropopause, the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere.
