Why is it Really Cold in the Mountains?

The video explores why mountains are cold by building a model of a stationary atmosphere. It explains the role of heat radiation, visible light, and the effects of gravity and density gradients. The video also discusses convection, atmospheric stability, and the adiabatic lapse rate, concluding that convection limits temperature decline with altitude.
