That's a trick question, since at VERY high altitudes the trend reverses momentarilly. It's dependant on what the sun can heat: at low altitudes, where the atmosphere is predominantly oxygen and nitrogen, the solid earth itself is the only heat absorber. Hence, the further you get from the warm soil of the earth, the colder you get.

At very high altitudes (over 60,000 ft, I believe... higher than any mountain), larger gas molecules like Ozone, Sulfur Dioxide, etc. can absorb some heat. It's still way too cold to live there, though, so I wouldn't recommend it

Why doe the amount of water vapour decrease rapidly with altitude?

To know the reason behind it remember one thing that with increasing altitude the temperature decreases eg. in may month there will be high temperature in mumbai that is at low altitude and comparatively low temperature in himalayan region (eg. srinagar) that is at high altitude.Now as we know that high temperature increases the rate of evaporation and if the rate of evaporation is increased through leaves then more water will go into atmosphere and humidity will increase and this gives us our answer that is...............at high altitude because of low temperature the evaporation rate decreases and thus there are less water vapour in atmosphere as compared to low altitude areas where there is high temperature and high vapour rate in air due to evaporation

Quito Ecuador is located on the equator and is not a coastal city It has an average annual temperature of only thirteen degrees C Fifty-Five degrees F What is the likely cause for this low temperature?

The low average temperature is due to the fact that Quito is located high in the Andes Mountains.


How altitude climate?

altitude refers to elevation above mean sea level. This measurement is determined most accurately by triangulation with optical instruments. The altitude of an airplane, however, is measured most accurately by means of a radio altimeter. Light reflect regularly in low altitude but light reflect irregular in high Altitude. The more altitude the less temperature and the less altitude the more temperature. At per 160-165m the altitude the temperature differs by 1 degree centigrate. bye cheers Shirshak Bajgain
