yes, it decreases about 1 deg Celsius for every 100m you ascend in altitude.

What does the temperature do as you increase in altitude?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases because there are less molecules in the atmosphere to hold in the heat.
As you go up in altitude going higher in the atmosphere does the temperature of the air in the troposphere increase or decrease?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from the earth into the atmosphere. Think of it as the air above you pushes down on you. The farther up you go, the less air is above you to push down. Air temp also decreases as you go up.
Which layers of earth have scientits been able to explore?
Only the crust. The temperature and pressure increases as you go further down into the earth.
What happens to the temperature of the air when elevation increases in the troposphere?
As you go higher into the atmosphere, the temperature decreases, because air lower down has absorbed all the heat reflected by the earth's sur
What happens as you go deeper into the earth?
Temperature and pressure increases.
What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in a temperature inversion?
Normally, temperature decreases as altitude increases. In a temperature inversion, the temperature increases as altitude increases, up to the level of air that is causing the inversion. See "Temperature change as altitude increases?" for info on how temperature normally decreases with altitude when there is not a temperature inversion.The rate at which the temperature goes down is down 1.1 degrees celsius for every 500 feet you go up.
What does the temperature do as you increase in altitude?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases because there are less molecules in the atmosphere to hold in the heat.
How does barometric pressure change with altitude?
Because pressure decreases as you go up in altitude and increases when you go down in altitude. Hope this helped!
Does the stratosphere's altitude increase or decrease?
As we go up in height, altitude increases. Thus the altitude increases.
As you go up in altitude going higher in the atmosphere does the temperature of the air in the troposphere increase or decrease?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from the earth into the atmosphere. Think of it as the air above you pushes down on you. The farther up you go, the less air is above you to push down. Air temp also decreases as you go up.
How does the temperature change as you go up through the troposhpere?
as altitude increases in the troposphere the temp. decreases. on average for every 1 kilometer increase in altitude the air gets about 6.5 Celsius degrees cool.
Does water temperature in the lake decrease as depth increases?
The further down you go, the colder it gets. This is due to a lack of sunlight as depth increases.
Does the temperature rise or fall as a altitude in creases?
The higher you go - the lower the temperature.
Why is it that when you go up a mountain you get colder because your near to the sun?
because air pressure decreases as altitude increases. As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is the lower pressure at higher altitude that causes temperature to be colder on the top of a mountain compared to sea level.
What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?
temperature and altitude
What type of relationship does the graph for charles's law show?
It shows that the volume of a gas increases at the same rate that the temperature increases.
Which layers of earth have scientits been able to explore?
Only the crust. The temperature and pressure increases as you go further down into the earth.
