Question

Why is the climate on mountains cooler, though it's much nearer to the Sun as compared to other hot places on the sea level?

Answer 1

REASON:
When carries most air over the land. When air reaches over the mountain, it rises as the mountains are in the way. We often can see snow on top of the mountains all year round coz the temperature atop the mountains is lower than at the bottom. Higher the place is above the sea level, lower is the temperature. As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is the lower pressure at higher altitudes that causes the temperature to be colder on top of the mountain than at sea level. At a high altitude, there’s less pressure, so the molecules are rubbing together less and stay at a cool temperature. The sun doesn’t heat the air, it heats the earth, by sending waves down to Earth.
