The steady decrease in temperature with altitude in the troposphere is called the environmental lapse rate. This is due to the decreasing pressure and density of the air as altitude increases.
The upper troposphere is the region of the Earth's atmosphere located above the lower troposphere and below the stratosphere. It typically extends from an altitude of around 8 to 15 kilometers above the Earth's surface. The upper troposphere plays a significant role in weather patterns and atmospheric circulation.
The main jet streams are located near the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with altitude) and the stratosphere(where temperature increases with altitude).
The temperature increases with altitude in the troposphere because of the absorption of solar radiation by the Earth's surface, which heats up the air closer to the surface. As you move higher in the troposphere, the air becomes thinner and less able to retain this heat, causing a decrease in temperature.
The thickest layer of the atmosphere is the troposphere, which extends from the Earth's surface up to about 10-15 kilometers (6-9 miles) in altitude. The troposphere is where weather events occur and where most of Earth's clouds and precipitation are located.
Troposphere only
in any altitude in the troposphere. :)
In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases as altitude increases. This is due to the decreasing air pressure and the fact that the upper regions of the troposphere are cooler due to their distance from the Earth's surface.
This cloud is located in the middle altitude category, known as an altostratus cloud. Altostratus clouds typically form between 2 to 6 kilometers above the ground.
The troposphere is typically colder as you go higher in altitude. On average, the temperature decreases by about 6.5°C for every kilometer increase in altitude within the troposphere.
No, the temperature in the troposphere decreases as the altitude increases.

Troposphere
The boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere is called the tropopause. It is characterized by a stable temperature inversion where the temperature stops decreasing with altitude and instead starts to increase. This boundary is located at an altitude of around 8-15 kilometers above the Earth's surface.
