Actually, as you go from the surface of the earth to space, temperature decreases until it reaches approximately 15 km( the tropopause). Then it increases until it reaches approximately 50 km ( stratosphere) . then it decreases again until the dheight is about 80 km ( mesosphere), then it increases again in the thermosphere up until 120 km above sea level.

What happens to temperature in the troposphere?

In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude at a rate of around 6.5°C per kilometer due to the adiabatic cooling effect as air pressure decreases with height. This relationship is known as the environmental lapse rate and defines the temperature profile of the troposphere.


What is the ralationship between temperature and height in the troposphere?

Temperature decreases with altitude. On an average, the temperature decreases by 3.5 degrees F for every 1000 ft of altitude (6.5 degrees C for every 1000 meters). The rate depends on if the air is dry or moist - in dry air, the temperature decreases more quickly, in moist air more slowly.


How are the changes in air temperature with height different from changes in air pressure with height?

Air temperature typically decreases with height in the troposphere due to the decreasing influence of Earth's surface heating. Conversely, air pressure decreases with height because the weight of the air above diminishes as altitude increases. While temperature changes can vary depending on weather conditions and atmospheric layers, the decline in air pressure with height is a consistent physical principle. As a result, temperature gradients can vary more widely than the relatively uniform decrease in air pressure.


How does temperature change as you go through the atmosphere?

There are four layers of the atmosphere. At the ground is the troposphere, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Temperature decreases with height through the troposphere, increases in the stratosphere, decreases in the mesosphere, then increases again in the thermosphere.


Weather element that always decreases with increasing height?

Pressure always decreases with height. This is because atmospheric pressure is just a measure of how much air is weighing down. So the higher you go in the atmosphere, the less air is above you (more of it is below you) and the lower the pressure will be.


What two things air pressure depends on?

it depends on weather and climate.


How does the temperature change with the height in the stratosphere?

In the stratosphere, temperature increases with height, a phenomenon known as temperature inversion. This occurs because the ozone layer, located in this atmospheric layer, absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, causing the air to warm as altitude increases. As a result, the stratosphere is characterized by a stable temperature profile, contrasting with the troposphere below it, where temperature typically decreases with height.
