For every 100-meter rise in altitude, the temperature decreases by about 1 degree Celsius. High-altitude regions, such as mountainous places, experience low temperatures.
Earth’s surface absorbs heat energy from the sun. When the surface warms up, the heat diffuses into and warms the atmosphere, and in turn, transfers some of the heat to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
Therefore, the layers of atmosphere closest to Earth's surface (low-altitude areas) are typically warmer compared to layers of atmosphere in higher-altitude areas.
