Uhm, the same reason the temperature would drop on a globe, the decrease in air pressure, and less sun reflecting off the surface, etc.  What, do you imagine that the FE models holds that the sun is 20,000 feet above the surface?  Relatively small increase in proximity to the sun doesn't suffice to cancel out the cooling due to lower air pressure and other factors.  When the atmosphere is thinner, there's less matter for the sun's raise to excite and therefore convert into heat (heat is caused by vibrating molecules).

See, the Glober attitude is that they've already decided that the earth is a globe/ball and so they just keep slinging enough manure at the wall with the hope that some of it will stick.
Don't you FE-ers have a veideo showing a plane flying above clouds with the sun below proving flat earth, when it really proves a globe earth?

You often come across like you have already decided the earth is flat and keep slinging manure hoping some of it sticks. Seems to me like the FE-ers often accuse GE-ers of the things they themselves do, but hope that making the accusation first will somehow prove them right.

The air is much thinner as you ascend.  So much so, not only is it colder, breathing is difficult to impossible at great heights even on mountains which remain in our atmosphere. Airplane travel is easier and faster due to less resistance just above the mountains. What's funny is that globe proponents pretend that the vacuum of space sits just outside the pressurized area of oxygen. Vacuums don't exist without containment or we'd all be sucked up into the vacuum.  Pretending to send rockets up into "space" is joke because engines need oxygen for combustion and a few hundred miles up, there is no oxygen.     
Shows how much you know. Rockets are not like jet engines that use the oxygen in the air, they carry a concentrated supply in either a compressed tank, or a solid form.

LOL.  It doesn't matter what form it comes in, it has to combust to move the rocket and combustion demands lots of oxygen, not available in the upper atmosphere let alone "space".

What are you babbling about "you FE-ers"?  I have no such video.  Most FEs surmise that the sun is about 3,000 miles above the surface of the earth.

But if you assume we are in a “snow globe” FE, warm air rises and thus it should be warmer at the top of the dome, No? Also, what is the assumption you make for the distance the surface of the Earth is to the Sun?

Warm air rises on Globe earth also, generally speaking, so what's the point?  Reason warm air rises is because of its lower density, due to the particles being more dispersed.
