What happens to the temperature of air as altitude increases?
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.
Why are snowflakes bigger when it is warmer?
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.
Why does ascending air allows clouds to form?
to form
Snowflakes and hailstones were once water vapor describe what happens to the vapor to form snowflakes and hailstones?
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.
When does snowflakes happen?
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.
When air is cooled what happens?
Uhm, it gets colder of course....
What happens when air from the sea hits a high mountain?
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.
As an airplane flies higher in the air what happens to the atmosphere outside the plane?
It gets thinner (the pressure drops) and colder.
Does air expand when it gets colder?
No.
When cool air cools what happens?
It gets colder. And the energy increases so the particles move further apart.
As you climb higher up a mountain does the air get hotter or colder?
As you climb a mountain the air gets colder.
When air gets colder does it sink?
It lowers, not sinks.
What gets colder as it gets hot?
an air conditioner because it warms up to make cold air
What happens to the temperature of air as altitude increases?

If air expands it warms then why does our troposhere gets colder as you get higher?
As you get higher the air is thinning not expanding.
How can warm air cool off?
in the lower atmosphere the air gets colder with increasing altitude.
Why are snowflakes bigger when it is warmer?
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.
