What is the effect of altitude on atmospheric pressure
the atmospheric pressure decreases with height or altitude decrease in pressure is about 1 cm of Mercury for every 110 of ascent the atmospheric pressure is highest at sea level this is because at higher altitudes the in air is thinner or less than than the air at the sea level the maximum and density is at the Earth surface air density decreases with the height because the pool of the earth gravity is less the fever number of gas molecules at higher altitudes means favour molecular collisions and a decrease in air pressure since atmospheric pressure is very highly compressible the overlying layers exert pressure on low lying layers​
