It's the altitude.

The equation PV=nRT is priceless. I find myself using it in daily life to answer questions about carbination in a warm soda or why a sealed bottle will shrink if you leave it out in the cold. Basically, in a closed environment, according to the forumula, as air pressure decreases, one of many things can happen....The volume V may increase, expanding the bottle. Also, the temperature, T, may decrease. n is the number of molecules in the container, and based on the First Law of Thermodynamics, their number would not change. R is the ideal gas law constant, and as such, remains constant. So again,

(Pressure)(Volume) = (number of molecules)(Constant)(Temperature)
