  • Answer:

    The temperature at sea level is 20 degrees celsius. What is the temperature at the top of a mountain 3000 m above sea level? Decrease of temperature with height: 6.5 Kelvin per km to about 11 km altitude. That is for a height of 3 km = 3000 m about 6.5 times 3 = 19.5 degrees colder than the ground. So if at ground it is 20°C, at the top of the mountain (3000 m) it will be about 0°C.
