While it’s true that hot air rises, causing lower temperatures at higher altitudes, the reason it’s colder on top of mountains is due to the decrease in air pressure with altitude. As air pressure decreases, so does the temperature, leading to colder conditions at higher elevations. Additionally, factors such as exposure to winds and proximity to polar regions can further contribute to colder temperatures on mountain peaks.
Pretty sure the poles are colder because the farther you are from the equator, the less perpendicular the light. Light spread over a larger area means less heat per sqft. This is also why the seasons change with the tilt of the earth relative to the sun, and not the distance to the sun…
That’s… what I thought as well but everyone’s shitting on every comment and downvoting any kind of discourse in ‘no stupid questions’ , best not to even trying having a discussion here I guess, learning bad, being asshole good 🤷♂️
He said : bad bot, proximity to polar regions is a bad explanation in itself.
You replied: isnt it colder there?
Which can be taken as you saying there’s nothing wrong with what the bot said. It is colder there, but that’s not why the bot is bad.
Basically people will read into what you say and take it however they want to, i wouldn’t bother with people misunderstanding your intent. “Just asking” is a common tactic used for disinformation and steering conversations

bad bot
proximity to polar regions? seriously?
Obviously as you go north you go up.
Is it not colder at the polar regions?? Edit: downvotes for that?? Aight weirdos
generally, duh. what’s that got to do with OP’s question? it’s just word count filler fluff.

I mean the following are 2 different and unrelated questions. And the OP asked the answer for the 1st.
wtf I don’t get the downvotes all i said is that it’s colder on mt peaks bc a triangles angles all add up to 180 degrees

No i didnt! I just got here!
Not always, Fairbanks Alaska can see the 90’s.
That very well may be in the troposphere but why does the stratosphere do the opposite?
