As altitude increases, the temperature of air generally decreases at a rate of about 5.4°F per 1000 feet. This is known as the lapse rate, and it occurs due to the decrease in air pressure with increasing altitude.
Snowflakes are larger when the temperature is warmer because warmer air has more moisture, resulting in water droplets that can come together and form bigger snowflakes. Warmer temperatures can also lead to higher humidity, which can enhance the growth of snowflakes as they fall through the atmosphere.
to form
Water vapor form snowflakes when the temperatures in the air are above freezing and the air should be unsaturated. The water vapor to create hailstones start inside a cumulonimbus cloud and super cooled liquid water are caught in a strong updraft. The cycle continues to increase the size of the hailstone, then eventually falls to the earth's surface.
Snowflakes occur when water vapor in the atmosphere forms ice crystals around dust particles. This typically happens in cold temperatures when moisture in the air freezes and crystallizes into snowflakes. Snowflakes can form in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on the conditions in the atmosphere.
Uhm, it gets colder of course....
It depends on several things, but usually it's forced upwards. As it rises, the air gets colder. As it gets colder the moisture in the air condenses, first into clouds, then possibly into rain or snow.
It gets thinner (the pressure drops) and colder.
No.
It gets colder. And the energy increases so the particles move further apart.
As you climb a mountain the air gets colder.
It lowers, not sinks.
an air conditioner because it warms up to make cold air

As you get higher the air is thinning not expanding.
in the lower atmosphere the air gets colder with increasing altitude.
