Distance to the Sun is irrelevant. In fact the earth’s distance to the sun varies by over 3 millions miles, between the closest and furthest point.
It is colder up higher because of low pressure. The atmosphere which hood all the heat in the air spreads out the further away from the surface you get. It gets colder the further is spreads.
