Answer:

air density is lower, so there is less heat transfer

Explanation:

Radiation is absorbed by the ground of Earth and this heats the surroundings along with tropospheric air through conduction and convection process. ... Thus, we can conclude that temperature decrease with higher altitude as air density is lower, so there is less heat transfer.
