Question

What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the troposphere?

Answer 1

Answer:

As altitude increases, temperature decreases.

Explanation:

In the troposphere as altitude increases, the temperature decreases.

• It is common to hear that "the higher you go, the cooler it becomes"
• This is scientifically correct.
• The reason for this is that the atmosphere is made up of gases.
• The earth is a better heat conductor.
• It absorbs more heat and the gases close to the ground will have more heat energy.
• The gases farther from the earth surface will be cooler than those in contact with the ground.
