Question

As we go to high altitude the atmospheric pressure goes on decreasing. Give the reason.

Answer 1

Answer:

As we go at a higher altitude , the atmospheric pressure decreases since the pressure applied by the atmosphere is less.

Answer 2

Answer:At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels. ... Since most of the atmosphere's molecules are held close to the earth's surface by the force of gravity, air pressure decreases rapidly at first, then more slowly at higher levels.
