What is the temperature at an altitude of 6 km if on the Earth’s surface it is + 12 ° C?

1) It is known that with an ascent for each kilometer, the air temperature drops by 6 ° C.

2) Let us find the drop in air temperature when climbing 6 km.

6 km * 6 ° С = 36 ° С.

3) Find the air temperature at an altitude of 6 km. To do this, subtract the temperature decrease from the temperature at the Earth’s surface.

12 ° C – 36 ° C = -24 ° C.

Answer: -24 ° C.
