Yes, because the more pressurized air is, the hotter it becomes. As air rises, the pressure decreases, creating a cooler temperature at the top vs. bottom of a mountaion, Also because the atmosphere at higher altitudes is thinner and holds heat less effectively.

Yes, in fact more sunlight (or U.V. radiation) falls at a higher altitude. Because of the adiabatic atmospheric effect, it is cooler 3-6 degrees F. per 1000 feet.

Yes. Al Gore stays at low altitudes most of the time and since he causes global warming it is hotter there.

Heat in the atmosphere is caused by excitation of air milecules. There are less of them at high altitudes.

easy has no mass. the quantity of potential it takes to enhance up a particle relies upon on the mass of the particle and the fee to enhance up it to. the way the formula works out, as you enhance up, it takes exponentially greater potential to proceed accelerating. ultimately, after utilising an countless quantity of potential, you attain the fee of sunshine (additionally spoke of as C). considering that easy has no mass, that's not significant how a lot potential you prepare to it (the potential in a easy wave is at as quickly as proportional to its frequency), the sunshine wave will constantly return and forth at C. although, spacetime is curved in a gravitational container, and this definitely slows the fee of sunshine, so the fee of sunshine is variable. additionally, the fee of sunshine adjustments while passing by using a substance, inclusive of air or gas (even though it is going to under no circumstances bypass quicker than C, the fee it is going in a vacuum). The changing velocity of sunshine while it passes by using a substance is what reasons refraction. The slowest velocity i comprehend of occured while they sent a easy beam by using a bose-einstein condensate of rubidium, they slowed it to fifteen mph! playstation Tachyons do not exist, they don't look to be genuine, in the event that they did exist they might have damaging mass, they are in simple terms a scientific "what-if"

Yes, it is because of air pressure, the higher you go, the less pressure there is.
