Answer:
Pressure with Height: pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

With increase in altitude the density of air decreases or the air becomes thinner so the pressure exerted by it on is becomes lesser as there are fewer particles
