It keeps getting colder. (to about -70 degrees F).
In the troposphere, temperature typically decreases with increasing altitude due to the adiabatic cooling effect. In the mesosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to absorption of solar radiation by ozone molecules.
The temperature decreases
In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude at a rate of around 6.5°C per kilometer due to the adiabatic cooling effect as air pressure decreases with height. This relationship is known as the environmental lapse rate and defines the temperature profile of the troposphere.
The temperature in the mesosphere decreases with altitude, reaching its lowest point at the mesopause, the boundary between the mesosphere and thermosphere. This cooling effect is due to the diminishing density of gas molecules in this region.
The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere where weather events occur. It contains about 75% of the atmosphere's mass and is where temperature generally decreases with altitude. This layer is where most of Earth's clouds, precipitation, and atmospheric phenomena, such as thunderstorms and tornadoes, take place.

The temperature decreases
The temperature typically decreases as you go up through the troposphere. This decrease in temperature with altitude is known as the lapse rate, and is usually around 6.5°C per kilometer of altitude.
The temperature decreases
The temperature in the atmosphere decreases as altitude increases. The reason for this is there is less warmth from the surface of the earth reaching the higher altitudes because there are fewer particles of the atmosphere to transfer the heat. The temperature begins to increase, however, around 100km in altitude because of the heat and radiation from the sun.

Because of the temperature in the troposphere that decreases as the altitude also lowers, convection only happens on it and not in the stratosphere. Also, because of the warm air from the land that is rising to the troposphere it becomes denser than the air above it that makes convection only happen in the said layer.
