The resistance of the atmospheredecreases with altitude .The reason for this is that high altitude atmosphere is exposed to severe UV rays, which tear electrons apart from the air molecules. The result is highaltitude atmosphere is a mixture of ions and electrons, what is called a Plasma.

Answer:electrical conductivity of earth increases with atitude due to
At heights above about 100 m, the conductivity of the air increases with height and therefore the fair weather electric field decreases with height. The increase in electrical conductivity with height is due to the greater ionization by cosmic rays and diminishing concentrations of large particles.
