At the summit of Mount Everest there is approximately 33% of the oxygen that is available at sea level.
The top of Mount Everest. The Sahara would be very hot with a lower air quality than that of a less hot place, but the top of Mount Everest would simply have less breathable oxygen in the air.
Not as much as at the bottom.
No, there are no competitions where you race to the top of Mount Everest. Mount Everest is a dangerous mountain to climb.
Because the air is extremely thin.
No, the top of Mount Everest has never fallen down.
At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.
The air pressure at the top of Mount Everest is low pressure. At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.
Because the air is thin
The air at the very tip is really thin, and not enough to survive mostly.
Edmund Hillary was the first to reach the top of Mount Everest.
At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.
Air presure at sea level is 101.325 Kilopascals Air pressure on the top of Everst is 33.7 Kilopascals
