The Blue Mountains are colder due to their higher elevation, which results in lower temperatures as you go higher up. Additionally, the Blue Mountains are located in a region that experiences cooler weather patterns compared to lower altitudes.
Our sky is blue DURING THE DAY because of two things: 1) sunlight is entering our atmosphere 2) our atmosphere is thick enough to preferentially scatter blue light. If either (1) or (2) cease to be true, then the sky will NOT be blue. As night "falls," the sky does not go instantly from blue to black. Instead, less and less of our Sun's light is available to scatter, and thus the sky goes slowly from blue to black. It's the same way as you go higher and higher. There is no altitude at which there is simply no longer enough atmosphere to scatter enough sun light to give the sky a blue look. It is more the case that, as you go higher and higher, the sky becomes less and less blue -- just like at night "fall." For SOME idea of how our sky changes, check out a video of a space shuttle launch.
Yes. Intense thunderstorms have high cloud tops, and they higher they go the colder they get.
yes it does but it has very little pressure
The sun appears higher in the sky during the summer season. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which causes the northern or southern hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight. As a result, the days are longer and the sun reaches a higher peak in the sky at noon. Conversely, during winter, the sun appears lower in the sky.

Check out the related links for some different versions of the story, Why the Sky is So High.Why the Sky Is High(Iloko)In the olden days, the only people on earth were a man and a woman. One day, they ate venison which the man had brought home from hunting. But because the bones were very big and they wanted to eat the marrow, they thought of pounding the bones. The woman removed her comb and necklace and hung them on the low sky. But whenever she pounded, she would hit the sky. So she requested the sky to rise higher. It thundered and the sky rose higher. Still the pestle hit the sky. So the woman again asked the sky to go higher. It thundered and the sky rose higher. Still the pestle hit the sky. So the woman again asked the sky to go higher. Again it thundered and the sky rose as high as could be. When the woman remembered what she had hung, it was too late. They became the moon and the stars.
Because there is less air pressure, due to the drop in air pressure the temperature drops as well.
You go higher than the clouds in the sky
yes
Heat transfer occurs from hot to cold. Heat always moves from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
Mount Everest is cold because of the altitude it stands at. The higher you go upwards the colder it gets.
In my opinion its because of less ATM and change in region.

Not Necessarily. The Sky is orange because the atmosphere is dispersing the light differently then when the sun is higher in the sky. The Atmosphere makes the wave length of the light higher, causing the orange, or redish color.

Cold with very low pressure. The higher you go up it, the colder and less pressure there is.
