About this calculator
Overview
In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude. This rate is known as the environmental lapse rate.
💡
Pro Tips
The average lapse rate is approximately 6.5°C per 1,000 meters (or 3.6°F per 1,000 feet).
Actual rates can vary depending on humidity and weather conditions.
Dry air cools faster than moist air as it rises.
!
Fun Facts
"Temperature inversions can sometimes cause higher altitudes to be warmer than lower ones."
"Commercial pilots often report temperatures around -50°C at cruising altitudes of 35,000 feet."
"The cooling of rising air is what causes water vapor to condense and form clouds."
Formula: T = T0 - L*h
