Why is it colder at higher altitudes despite being closer to the sun?
In: 0
its because you’re farther away from the earth’s core, which keeps the earth warmer at lower altitudes. the sun is so far away that for you to meaningfully change the distance between you & it, i think you would have to leave earth. like you’re at higher risk for uv damage at higher altitudes not because you’re closer to the sun, but because there’s less atmosphere to protect you up there
