Just returned from Mexico City. While temperature was around 75 to 80 degrees it seemed about 15 degrees warmer. So, yes it does seem hotter in higher altitudes.

High altitudes generally have lower temperatures compared to lower altitudes. This is because the air at higher altitudes is less dense and can hold less heat, leading to cooler temperatures.
Cirrus clouds are found at high altitudes, typically above 20,000 feet. Cumulus clouds are often found at lower to middle altitudes, usually between 6,500 to 20,000 feet. Stratus clouds form at low altitudes, below 6,500 feet. Nimbostratus clouds can extend through a wide range of altitudes, from low to high, depending on the vertical development of the cloud system.
The sun feels hotter at higher elevations because the air is thinner, which means there are fewer molecules to absorb and scatter the sun's heat. This results in more direct sunlight reaching the surface, making it feel hotter.
The evaporation of your perspiration is lessened when there is high humidity, making it more difficult for the body to cool itself off. It is not the act of sweating that cools you off, but the evaporation of the sweat.
At higher altitudes, the air pressure decreases, causing the air molecules to spread out more. This makes it harder for the air to trap heat, leading to a decrease in temperature. However, the sun's rays are more direct at higher altitudes, which can make it feel warmer during the day despite the lower overall temperature.
No, though higher altitudes will be at the freezing point more often.
just high altitudes
Cirrocumulus cloud is a clous that often appears at high altitudes.
Jet airplanes fly at high altitudes because it is more fuel efficient. Flying at higher altitudes uses less fuel than flying at lower altitudes.
High altitudes generally have lower temperatures compared to lower altitudes. This is because the air at higher altitudes is less dense and can hold less heat, leading to cooler temperatures.
At high speeds and altitudes
It is greater at a lower altitude.
up high!
High altitudes do cause drowsiness because there is less oxygen in the air, so you can't breathe normally.
yes
no
