A cold freezing lapse refers to a rapid decrease in temperature with increasing altitude in the atmosphere. It is similar to climbing a mountain and experiencing a drop in temperature as you ascend. Just as you would need to bundle up to stay warm at higher elevations, the atmosphere experiences this cooling trend due to the decrease in air pressure and heat loss to space.
