Why Are Mountaintops Closer to the Sun but Still Cold?

Описание: Why Are Mountaintops Closer to the Sun but Still Cold?

If sunshine means warmth,
why are mountaintops closer to the Sun so freezing?

It feels like nature’s playing a prank.
But really, it’s physics doing its thing.

Because temperature isn’t just about distance from the Sun.
It’s about pressure. Molecules. Atmosphere. And energy spread too thin.

In this episode, we explore:

Why thinner air means colder air even when sunlight hits harder
How altitude messes with your body heat and boiling points
Why Everest is icy while deserts bake at lower heights
And how Earth’s layers create climate zones in the sky

Mountaintops aren’t cold despite being close to the Sun.
They’re cold because of how Earth’s atmosphere works.
