If the temperature outside is -20° .calculate the altitude if the temperature outside is -20°C
Added by Kristin T.
Step 1
However, assuming the question intends to find the altitude at which the temperature is -20°C given a known temperature at sea level and a standard lapse rate, I will proceed with a typical atmospheric calculation. --- Show more…

If the air temperature is $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at sea level, assuming a constant lapse rate, what is the air temperature (a) at the top of Mt. Everest ($8848 \space\mathrm{m}$ ) and (b) outside a jet aircraft flying at an altitude of $12,000 \space\mathrm{m} ?$
Air Temperature As dry air moves upward, it expands and, in so doing, cools at a rate of about $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ for each 100 -meter rise, up to about 12 $\mathrm{km}.$ (a) If the ground temperature is $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ write a formula for the temperature at height $h .$ (b) What range of temperatures can be expected if an airplane takes off and reaches a maximum height of 5 $\mathrm{km}$ ?
