Detailed Solution

The hills are cooler during the summer due to higher altitude. Mountains have high altitudes, whereas plains have low or no elevations. The temperature tends to drop as the altitude increases. The amount of solar energy received changes with latitude due to the curvature of the planet earth. The temperature decreases from the equator toward the poles. When one goes from the earth's surface to greater altitudes, the atmosphere becomes less dense, and the temperature drops. Due to radiation from the planet earth, the heat gets lost, the air cools as it expands, and the air gets colder as the altitude increases. As a result, the hills are cool in the summer..
