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

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.


What happens to temperature as altitude increases in the exosphere?

In the exosphere, temperature increases with altitude. This is because the few particles in this layer can absorb large amounts of solar radiation, leading to higher temperatures the higher you go.


What effect on air pressure with altitude explain briefly?

As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. This is because the higher you go, the less air there is above you pressing down. The decrease in pressure with altitude follows a logarithmic pattern, with the rate of decrease slowing down the higher you go.


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!


How does altitude affect temperature on earth?

It depends on the on what sphere of the atmosphere you are talking about. At ground level (troposhere) it gets colder as altitude rises. Once the altitude reaches the stratosphere the temperature becomes warmer then cools down again as it reaches the stratopause, and continues to decline as altitude increases in the mesophere until the mesopause. The temperature then rises significantly when the altitude is high enough to be considered the thermosphere.


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 with altitude in the stratosphere?

the temperature already rise as you climb up in the stratosphere.


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.


What decreases the higher you go in the atmosphere?

Yes i just found out from a freaking science test


As you go up in altitude does the temperature in the air of the stratosphere increase or decrease?

as you go higher the air becomes thinner and colder until eventually you reach space where there is no air and it extremely cold


Does the temperature rise or fall as a altitude in creases?

The higher you go - the lower the temperature.
