Decreases until you get into the Thermosphere, where the temperature increases until you leave the atmosphere.

I know it´s not quite what you want but it´s interesting that where I live(nearly two miles above sea level) the temperature can be quite high providing that you are not in the shade. Of course the air is thinner up here so the heat is not conducted very well.

Decreases because there are fewer and fewer molecules of air for the Sun to heat, and retain that heat.

decreases by 2 degrees centigrade for every 1000 feet or so...

decreases. there are less air molecules moving around and therefore less kinetic energy. this is why you will freeze in space if unprotected.

Hi, it would decrease.
