Anthony Ballard · Answer 2

The correct option is: A: About 36 degrees F lower

Explanation:

The atmospheric temperature of the Earth varies with various factors such as humidity, altitude, radiation, etc.

The temperature of the Earth's atmosphere changes with height or altitude. As we go vertically up from the surface of the Earth, the atmospheric temperature decreases.

This is because as the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases and thus the temperature also decreases.
