Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
As we go up in the atmosphere the temperature will not increase.
Air gets cooler the higher you climb near the Earth’s surface. As you climb a mountain, you can expect the air temperature to decrease by 6.5 ℃ for every 1000 m. This is called the standard lapse rate. Hence, as we go in the air the temperature will decrease.
The corrected statement is that, air temperature decreases as you go up in the atmosphere.
