• True
• False

Air Temperature decrease with altitude

• True 
• False

In the layers of the atmosphere , Air temperature differences result mainly because of 

• Composition of gases
• the way solar energy is absorbed through the atmosphere
• the further you move up, the fewer molecules
• Density decrease with increase in altitude
