The troposphere is typically colder as you go higher in altitude. On average, the temperature decreases by about 6.5°C for every kilometer increase in altitude within the troposphere.
The tropopause is the boundary in the Earth's atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere, where temperature stops decreasing with altitude and remains constant. This is due to the presence of a stable temperature inversion layer that separates these two atmospheric layers.
This temperature variation occurs due to the different layers of the atmosphere interacting with solar radiation in varying ways. In the troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude due to the atmosphere's ability to trap heat. In the stratosphere, temperatures increase because of the presence of the ozone layer which absorbs and traps incoming solar radiation. Finally, in the mesosphere, temperatures drop again as the atmosphere becomes less dense and heat is not as efficiently retained.
The lowest layer of the atmosphere is the troposphere. This is where weather events occur, and it extends from the Earth's surface up to about 10-15 kilometers, depending on your location.
Colder, much colder.
The troposphere - the atmosphere layer closest to earth, down to ground level - gets coldest in the wintertime.
In general, the temperature in the stratosphere is warmer than in the troposphere because the stratosphere absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The temperature inversion in the stratosphere creates a stabilizing effect on the atmosphere.
The mesosphere is colder than the troposphere because there is very little air in the mesosphere to absorb and retain heat from the sun. Additionally, the ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs solar radiation, creating a temperature inversion that results in lower temperatures in the mesosphere.

It is cold and windy up there. The further you go up the colder it gets.
The warmest part of the troposphere is typically near the surface, as this is where the Earth receives direct sunlight and heat energy. Temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere, so the upper regions are generally colder.
The atmosphere that is 10 km from Earth's surface is the upper part of the troposphere. This region is known as the tropopause, which is the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere. At this altitude, the temperature is typically much colder and atmospheric pressure decreases.
It is getting colder outside. It's colder in here than it is out there. My beer is colder.
In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude at a rate of about 6.5°C per kilometer due to the decrease in air pressure and density with height, known as the lapse rate. This trend continues until the tropopause, where the temperature stabilizes.
The temperature gets colder as you go upward in the troposphere. Light from the Sun heats the ground. The warm ground gives off the heat as infrared "light". The IR energy heats the troposphere. The lowest part of the troposphere is the warmest because it is closest to the ground, where the heat is coming from.
