Why is the top part of Mt. Everest the coldest part if the sun is practically shining above it?

As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is this lower pressure at higher altitudes that causes the temperature to be colder on top of a mountain than at sea level.

Hey there!

The sun is so far away, it has little effect on the temperature at different elevations. Also, Mt. Everest's top is very high in altitude, and higher altitudes have cooler temperatures.

Let me know if this helps :)
