The temperature of the air in a rising parcel of air will always be the same as that of the surrounding air.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As a parcel of air rises, it experiences a decrease in pressure, and this expansion causes it to cool. This cooling will cause the temperature of the parcel of air to be lower than that of the surrounding air if it is unsaturated (i.e., has not yet reached its saturation point). However, if the parcel of air becomes saturated, then the temperature will remain constant until all the water vapor has condensed out of the air.
