Heat from the sun (contrary to common opinion) heats the land and not the air. Some of the heat rises but even the best conductors of heat store some heat and the air stores some heat too so by the time you get really high up, very little heat reaches you thus the higher up you are, regardless of what layer of the atmosphere you are in, the colder things are.
What else can I help you with?
In the troposphere which decreases as altitude increase?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases in the troposphere
How does the temperature of the air change as you increase in altitude in the troposphere?
As you increase in altitude in the troposphere, the temperature usually decreases. This is because the air becomes less dense with higher altitude, leading to less heat retention and a decrease in temperature.
As altitude increases in the Troposphere does the temperature increase?
No, as altitude increases in the Troposphere, the temperature generally decreases. This is because the Troposphere is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere where weather occurs, and the temperature decreases with altitude due to the decrease in air pressure and thinning of the air molecules that can store heat.
What happens to the temperatures in the troposphere as altitude increases?
The temperature decreases
Does temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the mesosphere?
Temperature decreases with altitude in the mesosphere due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure with height. This is because the mesosphere is above the stratosphere where the ozone layer absorbs incoming solar radiation, leading to a decrease in temperature as altitude increases.
In the troposphere does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude?
In the troposphere, temperatures decrease with altitude (air pressure), in the effect known as the adiabatic lapse rate (9.8 °C per thousand feet).
What layer of the atmosphere temperatures increase as altitude increases?
In the atmosphere, temperatures increase with altitude in the stratosphere. This layer, which lies above the troposphere, contains the ozone layer that absorbs and scatters ultraviolet solar radiation, leading to a warming effect as altitude increases. Consequently, the stratosphere experiences a temperature inversion, contrasting with the troposphere, where temperatures typically decrease with altitude.
Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitiude in the troposphere?
The temperature decreases with altitude.
In the troposphere which decreases as altitude increase?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases in the troposphere
Why do temperatures decrease in the troposphere and increase in the stratosphere?
Temperatures decrease in the troposphere due to the Earth's surface heating the air above it; as altitude increases, the air becomes less dense and can hold less heat. In contrast, temperatures increase in the stratosphere because of the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer, which warms the air at higher altitudes. This temperature inversion creates a stable atmosphere in the stratosphere, contrasting with the more turbulent conditions of the troposphere.
How does the temperature of the air change as you increase in altitude in the troposphere?
As you increase in altitude in the troposphere, the temperature usually decreases. This is because the air becomes less dense with higher altitude, leading to less heat retention and a decrease in temperature.

What happens to the temperatures in the troposphere as altitude increases?
The temperature decreases
List the layers of the atmosphere in order starting with the one closest to Earth and describe how temperature changes as altitude increases.?
The layers of the atmosphere, starting from the Earth’s surface, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude. However, in the stratosphere, temperature starts to increase with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. In the mesosphere, temperatures again decrease with altitude, while in the thermosphere, temperatures rise dramatically as altitude increases.
Does temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the mesosphere?
Temperature decreases with altitude in the mesosphere due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure with height. This is because the mesosphere is above the stratosphere where the ozone layer absorbs incoming solar radiation, leading to a decrease in temperature as altitude increases.
Temperatures generally rise as altitude increases in the?
Stratosphere. This is because the stratosphere is above the troposphere and contains the ozone layer, which absorbs UV radiation from the sun, causing temperatures to increase with altitude.
What two atmospheric layers contain air as warm as 25 degrees Celsius?
The troposphere and the lower stratosphere are the two atmospheric layers that can contain air as warm as 25 degrees Celsius. Temperatures in the troposphere decrease with altitude, but can vary depending on location and weather conditions. In the lower stratosphere, temperatures can increase with altitude due to the presence of the ozone layer.
