Question

why isnt barometric pressure lower at high altitude

Answer 1

☆$\red {HELLO\:DEAR}$☆

• Since the atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, the number of air molecules pressing on the other molecules (at lower altitudes) from above also drops.
• This leads to an expansion of sorts, in the sense that the molecules below have more room to wander about.
