\nThe normal lapse rate refers to the rate at which atmospheric temperature decreases with an increase in altitude. In the troposphere, temperature is generally highest at or near the ground level and decreases as you move higher.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe normal lapse rate is approximately 6.5\u00b0C per kilometer (or 3.5\u00b0F per 1000 feet) in the troposphere. This decrease occurs because the atmosphere is primarily heated by the Earth’s surface.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThere are instances where temperature increases with altitude, known as temperature inversion. These inversions occur under specific atmospheric conditions but are not the normal lapse rate.
