Question

Why does temperature decreases with height in the troposphere

Answer 1

if we go high...pressure deceases...

according to Gay lussac's law...

P ∝ T

so as pressure decreases temperature also decrease.

please mark brainliest..

Answer 2

In the troposphere, the temperature generally decreases with altitude. The reason is that the troposphere's gases absorb very little of the incoming solar radiation. Instead, the ground absorbs this radiation and then heats the tropospheric air by conduction and convection.

Higher up in the troposphere, where less heat from the surface warms the air, the temperature drops. ... In the layer above the troposphere, the stratosphere, temperature rises with increasing altitude. In the stratosphere, the air is heated from above by ultraviolet "light" which is absorbed by ozone molecules in the air.
