The standard value for the lapse rate in the Earth's atmosphere is approximately 6.5^{\circ}C per 1000 meters of elevation. This lapse rate refers to the rate at which the temperature decreases with an increase in altitude in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where weather occurs.

The lapse rate can vary depending on various factors such as atmospheric conditions, moisture content, and geographical location. However, the standard value of 6.5^{\circ}C per 1000 meters is often used as a reference in meteorology and atmospheric science. It helps to estimate temperature changes with altitude and is a fundamental concept in understanding atmospheric stability and weather patterns. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
