Question

Why do you think air becomes thinner higher up?

Answer 1

Air is a matter and is attracted towards earth due to gravity. This is the reason air density is more at earth's surface but decreases as we go up and hence air becomes thinner as we go at higher altitudes.

Answer 2

Air is a complex mixture of different gases produced naturally or due to human activities. Each gaseous composition has own density or mass.

Explanation:

• Air is a matter that is attracted by the earth like every other object by the action of gravity.
• The air density is more at the surface of earth whereas the density of earth decreases as we move above the earth surface.
• The more denser air lies at the bottom that is in the proximity of the earth surface and low denser air is thinner and can be observed in the higher altitudes.
