Why the temperature reduces while going to top of the hills |
| Answer» As\xa0you go\xa0to\xa0higher\xa0altitudes, there are less air molecules pushing down on\xa0you\xa0(lower pressure). When the pressure of a gas\xa0decreases, the\xa0temperature\xa0also\xa0decreases\xa0(the reverse is also true – when the gas pressure increases, the\xa0temperature\xa0increases). Therefore, the air\xa0temperature\xa0is lower at\xa0higher\xa0altitudes.\xa0Because as you\xa0go\xa0up from Surface level to higher altitudes the\xa0temperature decreases\xa0in atmosphere mainly in Troposphere. ... This is the reason why\xa0hill\xa0stations have low\xa0temperature. | |
