is it true that the higher it goes the cooler it becomes?

Yes.  Air cools at about 2 deg. C. per 1000 feet.  It is quite cold up in the sky where the big ol' planes fly.

It is to double the C degrees then add 30.  You're right, it's not exact, but pretty close for numbers that could be weather temperatures.

That is adiabatic cooling (by expansion). When air is forced to expand (like when it rises) it will become cooler.\n\nWhen air is forcefully compressed, that is adiabatic heating.\n\nThe answer is ADIABATIC TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Colder air is "thicker," moves much more slowly than does hot air, and is heavier than warmer air...Air will set up a gradient from the coldest at the bottom to the hottest at the top in a container...

Yes, only if the volume difference is enough to compensate for the difference in temperature.\n\nOtherwise, no.  It is not logically or physically possible, given the same amount and the same environment.

Or you can do this ^.^ which in my opinion is much more cooler. \n^.^

Generally, the higher the temperature, the lower the density.

Like everyone else said, it makes the drink cooler. However, this is because heat is transferred in an attempt to achieve equilibrium. In this case, the equilibrium would be between the temperature of the ice and that of the drink. Because the average temperature of the drink is higher than that of the ice, heat flows out of the drink and into the ice, slowly levelling the temperature.

Generally, yes.  The closer you are to the equator, the warmer the climate is.

Don't listen to the other guy because it actually lowers!\nThe faster you go the pressure builds up and that airflow pushes down on the vehicle. MIKE

No.\nThe computer works better when it is warm.\nIt's a hardware thing.

When air is warmed up, its molecules move faster and faster and as a result they move further from each other.  They still have the same mass, but they now occupy a larger volume.  This means that its density is smaller.\nThe opposite when air is cooled off.  The molecules slow down, get closer together, occupy a smaller volume and therefore its density is bigger.\n\nWhen air is warmed up, it goes up.  Once it's up there, is cools off and goes back down.  Near the heated surface the air gets warmed up again, goes up, cools down, goes back down, and again and again.\nThat's called a convection cell.

The higher you go the thinner the air, if there is less air then there is less mass to hold the heat from the sun.

As a general rule, warm air rises and cool air sinks\nit expands and becomes lighter as the molecules of air move farther apart

1. Someone said heat rises - not true. Warm air is lighter than cold air, so warm air rises. The evaporator of the fridge being on top will give a more even 'cold' distribution. If the evaporator was on the bottom, the bottom of the fridge would always be colder than the top.\n2. Cold air is heavier than warm air. If the freezer is open on top, the cold air will not escape. If the freezer is upright, with no doors, the freezer will lose all of it's 'cold' air, it will spill out of the freezer.\n3. Radiation\n4. Pit vipers have an infrared sensor. It picks up the heat generated by the rat's body heat, in the form of radiation.\n5. speed of light.

temperature decreases with increase in altitude

Yes. The temperature drops 1 degree Fahrenheit for every 1000 feet you go up.
