Why does atmospheric pressure decrease with altitude.

Physics
1 answer:
ella [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. ... As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what meteorologists and mountaineers mean by "thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.</em>
