you mean as you elevate into the hight of the terestrial atmosphere ?
coz you move away from earth which is a stabilizer in temperature. like if you move away from the ocean ... it is a stabilizer.
in reality as you get closer to the sun (excluding any influence from earth or other planets or gaz or whatever it gets warmer !!! no doubt.

You don't. You get colder as you go higher in the Earth's atmosphere because you are getting closer to space, which is very close to absolute zero. Once you are in space, you will get warmer as you move towards the Sun, as you absorb heat radiated by the Sun (following the inverse square law).

Nothing you do on Earth will take you significantly closer to the Sun. It is 93 million miles away. The highest mountain peak on this planet is only a few miles high. The cooling is due to thinning of the atmosphere as you get higher.

The thining of the atmosphere that traps the radiation (heat, in this case).

I fully intended to answer your question-- I simply wanted further explanation since your question seemed (and still does seem) nonsensical. But since your lacking sense of humor and knee-jerk nastiness caused you to report me, I never got to. Must suck to be so uptight.
