I learned the answer to this in science this year, so don't worry, it is accurate:

The higher above sea level/elevation you are, the colder the temperature becomes. The reason for this is because there are air molecules in the air bump closer together when you are lower above sea level- that creates warm weather. The higher above sea level you go, (for example, the tops of mountains,) the more separated and spaced out the molecules become, which causes cold weather. This is the ACCURATE answer to how elevation affects temperature.
