C) it decreased
because atmospheric pressure decreases as we move up.
The planetary temperature energy balance is obtained by radiating back the absorbed radiation energy from outer-space, by the planet and thus acquiring thermal equilibrium.
What is the process of attaining thermal equilibrium by Earth?
The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the more the temperature a planet has, the more it will radiate out to reach thermal equilibrium.
We know that outer space contains large masses of radiative energy freely distributed in its vast expanse. A small fraction of this energy is absorbed by the Earth through the atmosphere, surface land, clouds etc.
Now, radiative balance is achieved when a planet's surface continuously warms up until it reaches its peak at which point the same amount of absorbed energy can then be radiated back to space. The relative amount of energy radiated back by a planet is dependent upon the size of the planet.
A colder planet relatively absorbs lower amount of radiation energy from space. In some time, as the planet heats up enough, the energy is radiated back to the space attaining thermal equilibrium.

Answer: 
Explanation:
The angular diameter 
of a spherical object is given by the following formula:
Where:
is the actual diameter
is the distance to the spherical object
Hence:
This is the angular diameter
A jet fighter flies from the airbase A 300 km East to the point M. Then 350 km at 30° West of North.
It means : at 60° North of West. So the distance from the final point to the line AM is :
350 · cos 60° = 350 · 0.866 = 303.1 km
Let`s assume that there is a line N on AM.
AN = 125 km and NM = 175 km.
And finally jet fighter flies 150 km North to arrive at airbase B.
NB = 303.1 + 150 = 453.1 km
Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
d ( AB ) = √(453.1² + 125²) = √(205,299.61 + 15,625) = 470 km
Also foe a direction: cos α = 125 / 470 = 0.266
α = cos^(-1) 0.266 = 74.6°
90° - 74.6° = 15.4°
Answer: The distance between the airbase A and B is 470 km.
Direction is : 15.4° East from the North.
