Answer:
Pressure on Earth varies with the altitude of the surface; so air pressure on mountains is usually lower than air pressure at sea level. Pressure varies smoothly from the Earth's surface to the top of the mesosphere.
Most gas molecules in the atmosphere are pulled close to Earth's surface by gravity, so gas particles are denser near the surface. ... With greater depth of the atmosphere, more air is pressing down from above. Therefore, air pressure is greatest at sea level and falls with increasing altitude
