How does air temperature change with altitude?

The sun’s rays pass through the atmosphere like glass. When they reach the surface of our planet, they begin to warm it. The atmosphere begins to warm from the earth’s surface, so the air temperature decreases with height. It becomes 0.6 ° colder for about every 100m. Air temperature is measured in degrees. A thermometer is used for this. At meteorological stations, thermometers are installed at a height of 2m in ventilated thermal booths, which protect them from direct sunlight.
