 Why is it colder at higher altitudes?

  • Air temperature decreases with height in the troposphere (up to about 15-20 km), then varies in higher layers.

  • The Earth's surface absorbs solar radiation and heats up more than the air above it, leading to warmer air close to the ground.

  • The heat at the surface is transported by convective expansion into the atmosphere. 

  • Warm air rises and expands as it goes up, causing it to cool. This results in cooler temperatures at higher altitudes.

  • The atmosphere is not static; it constantly moves and mixes. 

  • However, the overall trend remains that temperature decreases with height.

  • The atmosphere also loses heat to space through radiation, contributing to lower temperatures at higher altitudes.
