Higher altitude air is less dense. Less density means less air; less air means less friction, and less friction means a higher speed.

Why do airplanes get faster at high altitude?
less oxegen levels and air pressure.
Why at high altitude the amount of oxygen decreases due to increase of carbon dioxide?
Most airplanes fly at high altitude because it is faster and safer as long as the cabin is pressurized. There is less clouds and turbulence. The airplane uses less fuel.
Why is a higher altitude better for wind farms?
Because high altitude winds are faster.
In what particular place the water will boil faster?
At high altitude
Does altitude affect clocks?
yesclocks tick faster at high altitudes
How do airplanes change altitude?
One of the main reasons is to conserve fuel. Airplanes can fly at any altitude and speed. However, airplanes generally tend to fly at high altitude to conserve fuel. This makes the plane more efficient and keeps the operating cost down. Of course, an airplane can not always fly at max altitude at every flight. It may have too much weight or the distance it travels may be too short. So there is always a trade-off as to how they will fly the route.
How much faster are airplanes than spaceships?
Spaceships are MUCH faster than airplanes.
Are jets really airplanes?
Yes, jets really are airplanes but they are faster airplanes.
What altitude do airplanes fly at over Greenland?
36,000 feet
What altitude do passenger airplanes travel at?
From 28,000 to 33,000 feet.
Are jet airplanes faster than turbo prop airplanes?
Yes.
Airplanes move at greater than cars?
Speed, altitude, and cost.
