Factors Influencing Atmospheric Temperature

Several factors influence atmospheric temperature, both on a global scale and at local levels. Here are some of the key factors:

  • Latitude:

  • Latitude plays a significant role in determining temperature. Generally, as you move closer to the equator (lower latitudes), temperatures tend to be warmer, while temperatures decrease towards the poles (higher latitudes).
  • Altitude (Elevation):

  • Temperature decreases with an increase in altitude. The troposphere, the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, experiences a temperature lapse rate of about 6.5 degrees Celsius per kilometer of ascent.
