lower air pressure. air molecules get thinner as you go up.

pressure is directly proportional to temperature. you can imagine that yourself. imagine 5 people grabbing you, you’ll feel heat because there’s pressure.

that’s why space is cold, because there’s no pressure.

hope i was clear, i’m not good at explaining.
