mer?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Shimla is cooler than Delhi in summer because the temperature decreases with the height at a rate of 1oC for every 165m of ascend.

Answer 2

$\huge \underline \bold \blue{answer}$

Shimla is cool in summer because it is located at a higher altitude.

The phenomenon is known is inversion of temperature. There is 1 degree fall in temperature with every 165 m increase in height.

Shimla is situated at 2280m abobe sea level. It is likely to be 14–15 degree cooler than any city at sea level.

Besides altitude, another factor is latitude, sice shimla and Nainital lie north of tropic of cancer, they do not face sun overhead in any season. (This factor of course is of less consideration than altitude).Moreover, Shimla has adequate greenery that keeps it cool. I assume that must be the case for rest of the hill stations.
