Answer:
As you travel further from the Earth's surface, the atmosphere changes. ... The closer to the Earth's surface, the greater the weight (or force) of the atmosphere because air near the surface has ALL air above it pushing down on it. As an airplane travels higher into the atmosphere, air pressure decreases.

Answer:
Near Earth’s surface the pressure decreases with height at a rate of about 3.5 millibars for every 30 metres (100 feet). However, over cold air the decrease in pressure can be much steeper because its density is greater than warmer air.
