hi friend if you get answer as correct please mark me as brainliest and here's the answer to your question---->
It is called the adiabatic lapse rate. There is a dry adiabatic lapse rate and a wet adiabatic lapse rate. It can be calculated based on thermodynamics and PV= nRT. The pressure is based on an air column above that elevation. At higher altitudes the air above that point has less pressure so the temperature drops proportionately. Wet air at the dew point is heavier
dry adiabatic lapse rate is a constant 9.8 °C/km (5.38 °F per 1,000 ft, 3 °
C/1,000 ft)
the moist adiabatic lapse rate varies strongly with temperature. A typical value is around 5 °C/km see Wikipedia for the formula
