How did the temperature decrease in the high altitude

As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is this lower pressure at higher altitudes that causes the temperature to be colder on top of a mountain than at sea level.
In mathematical speak that is 9.8°C per 1,000 meters. However, if you're in a cloud, or it is snowing/raining, the temperature decreases by about 3.3°F for every 1,000 feet up you go in elevation. Thus meaning it's a change of 6°C per 1,0000 meters.
As altitude increases, the downward force also decreases due to the decreased density of the molecules. And, (as Chris & John say), as we go to the upper atmosphere, the temperature starts increasing with altitude, as air gets heated up directly by sun's radiation! Gravity pulls air down closer towards lower altitudes.
