YES I know the tittle sounds ridiculous because we do know that the sun is situated far higher in space.

Also I guess it's normal for everyone to think that the further you move into the atmosphere,  the higher the heat intensity should be provided we're inch closer to the sun.
Nevertheless,  this Phenomenon proves your thinking wrong with fantastic reasons.  However this phenomenon is only true during the day.

 Let's unravel the mystery now...

Explanation of the phenomenon "the higher you  go, the cooler it becomes".

In the atmosphere, there're no objects by which heat can be absorbed unlike the earth's surface where heat is absorbed by numerous objects. Those objects especially the good conductors in turn transfer the heat to surrounding objects or whatever they come in contact with.

In other words, you just touched a desk that has been exposed to the sun; you felt the hotness of the desk because the heat absorbed by the object has been transferred to you. That way, heat is easily circulated on the earth surface.  So the remnant of the heat radiation absorbed by the ozone layer comes directly to the earth surface leaving the atmosphere free from heat because there're no objects there let alone a conductor...  Thus place nearer to the earth surface is warmer than the farer one.
But in the night, it's the reverse because  there's no more heat radiation and the heat contents on the earth's surface is being evaporated leaving the earth's surface cool...

You should figure out the rest!
Greetings!!!
