Answer:

decrease.

Explanation:

The air pressure is given by

P = h x d x g

where, h is the height of air column above the surface and g be the acceleration due to gravity and d be the density of air.

As we go up, the height of air column decreases, density of air decreases and acceleration due to gravity also decreases, so the value of pressure decreases at altitudes.

Answer:

Weight is what you get when a certain amount of gravity is acting on that mass, and something, like the surface of a planet, is resisting that action. In space, when falling freely, there's nothing resisting the pull of gravity so weight disappears. Mass however stays.
