Temperature changes with an increase or decrease of altitude. This change is known as the "lapse rate" and it varies depending on the amount of moisture in the particular mass of air. The "dry adiabatic lapse rate" (for dry air masses) is a temperature decrease of about 3 degrees C per thousand feet of altitude, while the "wet adiabatic lapse rate" (for moist air masses) is a temperature decrease of about 1.66 degrees C per thousand feet of altitude.
For average conditions, a figure of 3.5 degrees F (2 degrees C) per 1000 feet is commonly used.

The boiling point temperature is lower at low pressure (altitude).

It typically gets colder the higher you go depending on which layer of the atmosphere you are in.
as altitude increases temperature decreases
The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.
Temperature decreases as altitude increases.
it is affected by the latitude and it's altitude
The temperature in the troposphere and the mesosphere decrease with altitude.
No, the temperature in the troposphere decreases as the altitude increases.
The change in pressure is highly affected by altitude.
