The air temperature is + 24 ° C. What will be the temperature at an altitude of 3 km?

To solve the problem, you first need to find the temperature difference between the Earth’s surface and the height of 3 km.

To do this, we multiply the altitude by a constant value of the temperature change, which is 6 degrees Celsius for every 1000 meters.

In this case, we get:

3 * 6 = 18 degrees. (This is how much the temperature at an altitude of 3 km will be lower).

We find the value of the temperature at the height.

To do this, subtract the difference from the temperature at the Earth’s surface.

We get:

24 – 18 = 6 degrees Celsius.

Answer:

At an altitude of 3 km, the air temperature is +6 degrees.
