Detailed Solution

        Because the atmosphere distributes itself according to gravity, temperatures typically fall with height.
        The temperature in the troposphere often drops with height. The gases in the troposphere barely absorb any of the incoming solar energy, which is the cause. The air in the troposphere is instead heated by conduction and convection after the ground absorbs this radiation.
