Question

Normal lapse rate at which the temperature decreases with height in troposphere

Answer 1

Answer:

The temperature drops about 6.5° C with each increase in altitude of 1 kilometer (about 3.6° F per 1,000 feet).

The rate at which the temperature changes with altitude is called the "lapse rate".

Answer 2

Question:

• Normal lapse rate at which the temperature decreases with height in troposphere.

Answer:

• air—commonly referred to as the normal, or environmental, lapse rate—is highly variable, being affected by radiation, convection, and condensation; it averages about 6.5 °C per kilometre (18.8 °F per mile) in the lower atmosphere (troposphere).
