Answer:
The force of gravity works to hold the air molecules found throughout the atmosphere as close to the surface of the planet as possible. This basic force causes more than half of the air molecules in the Earth's atmosphere to reside below 5.5 kilometers. As a result, air pressure does not decrease in a linear fashion.
