Because, taller mountains are high enough to reach the next layer of the atmosphere, which tends to be colder because the sun's radiation is mostly deflected at the top. The bottom layer is alot warmer because of the greenhouse effect.
Mountaintops are colder than the lowlands because the Sun heats the Earth from the ground up. The Sun's radiation travels through the atmosphere to the ground, where Earth absorbs the heat then emits it back out. So, temperatures near the Earth's surface is generally the warmest.
Yes, -12 degrees Celsius is colder than -2 degrees Celsius. The farther the temperature is below zero, the colder it is.
-6 Fahrenheit is colder. It is below zero.
yes -1 is the number directly below 0. Its called sub-Zero
When you go below zero, the 'higher' number is colder. So, -6 F is two degrees colder than -4 F.
Yes,because the higher you go the colder you get. The temperature drops to 11 degrees
Mountaintops are colder than the lowlands because the Sun heats the Earth from the ground up. The Sun's radiation travels through the atmosphere to the ground, where Earth absorbs the heat then emits it back out. So, temperatures near the Earth's surface is generally the warmest.
Twenty below (-20) is colder than ten below (-10).
No -25 °C is colder than -18 °C
-6
It's cold on top of mountains because expanding air becomes cooler by adiabatic expansion. If you let the air out of your tires, the valve stem becomes cold. It's the same phenomenon. Mountain tops also have less overlying water vapor, so they are cooled by radiation to space more strongly than the low lands.
45
when it goes down for example 0 Celsius is colder than 10 Celsius
No. -90 is colder. When temperatures are negative, the number indicates how far below zero the temperature is.
No, -80 F is 10 degrees colder than -70 F because it is farther below zero.
Yes, -12 degrees Celsius is colder than -2 degrees Celsius. The farther the temperature is below zero, the colder it is.
The heat can not get very far down, thus making it colder.
