Explain how air pressure decreases as you go higher in the atmosphere.

$\Huge{\textbf{\textsf{{\color{navy}{ans}}{\purple{wer}}{\pink{}}{\color{pink}{:}}}}}$

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.
