Answer:
The atmospheric pressure depends on temperature, relative humidity and the altitude.
Explanation:
Atmospheric pressure is described as the pressure the atmosphere exerts on an object. Near the surface of the earth, the atmospheric pressure is high. However as you move further to the atmosphere the pressure is low. This is due to the fact that air molecules depend on the altitude as well. They are denser near the earth’s surface.
Relative humidity is described as the vapour pressure at a given temperature. Relative humidity also varies with varying altitude therefore even if gravity is constant some factors still affect atmospheric pressure.
