Explanation:
The temperature decreases with height in the lowest 10-20 km of the atmosphere (called the troposphere) because most of the solar radiation passes through the atmosphere with little or no effect - that radiation is absorbed by the solid Earth surface and is transferred to the air above the surface by conduction.

Answer:
Explanation:As you increase in elevation, there is less air above you thus the pressure decreases. As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further (i.e. air expands) and the temperature decreases. If the humidity is at 100 percent (because it's snowing), the temperature decreases more slowly with height.
