Temperatures decrease with altitude in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, from an average of about 20° C to below -50° C. In the next layer, the stratosphere, temperatures warm only slightly up to the ozone layer at the top of the stratosphere, where they increase rapidly with altitude until becoming about the same as on the earth's surface. Temperatures in the next layer, the mesosphere, cool rapidly with altitude to below -80° C. Temperatures rise rapidly with increases in altitude in the next layer, the thermosphere, but temperatures there can vary widely. Depending on the activity of ionized particles within this region, they reach a high of over 1,200° C in the daytime and become extremely cold at night. The next layer is the exosphere, which cools with altitude to where it ends about 1,000 km above the earth's surface.

∙ 13y agono. the closer you get to space the colder it gets. on the tops of mountains, there is snow that never melts. why? because its so high up.

∙ 9y agoAs you go higher, the air gets colder. When you go to a lower altitude the air is warmer.

What variables can change air pressure?
Temperature, volume, height , and water vapor are variables that change air pressure.
In a temperature inversion air temperature does what?
increases with height
What weather characteristics change?
air pressure and temperature
Does air pressure and temperature change with altitude?
Yes; the pressure and temperature decreases with higher altitude.
If the temperature at sea level were 23 degrees Celsius what would the air temperature be at the height of 2 kilometers under average conditions?
10o Celsius
What are the four variables that can change the air?
temperature,volume,height and, water vapor
What variables can change air pressure?
Temperature, volume, height , and water vapor are variables that change air pressure.
What is the temperature when the height of air equals zero?
what is the temperature when the height of air equals zero
What is the temperature when the height of air equals to zero?
what is the temperature when the height of air equals zero
In a temperature inversion air temperature does what?
increases with height
What 3 variables besides water vapor can change air pressure?
Volume,Temperature and height above earth's surface
What four things affect pressure?
Change in volume - container getting bigger or smaller with same amount of air; Change in temperature - air gets hotter or colder causing it to expand or contract; Change in density - air is pumped into or out of a fixed container.

How does temperature change as height increases the troposphere?
As the altitude increases in the Troposphere, The air temperature decreases. When about 1 kilometer increases in altitude, the air cools about 6.5 degrees Celsius. And at the very top of the Troposphere the air temperature stays the same at around -60 degrees Celsius.

Does a table have a temperature equal to greater than or less than the temperature of the air?
At equilibrium the table ad air will have the same temperature. Any change in air temperature will change the temperature of the table but the change in table temperature will lag behind the change in air temperature. If you feel a table in a room it may feel cooler than the air temperature as the table material is more conductive of the heat from your skin than the air.
What causes the temperature decreasing with height in the troposphere?
The air is thinner
