The rate of temperature decrease in the troposphere can vary even at different places because what changes?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Humidity, cloudiness and local heating conditions
The governing concept is the lapse rate, meaning the decrease of air temperature with increasing altitude. Its observed value is affected by moisture, cloud cover, surface heating, radiation and local air movement. Therefore the rate need not be identical everywhere. The exosphere’s thickness, ozone colour and meteor count do not directly control near-surface tropospheric temperature change. Option A is correct.
