Air, like water, finds its own level, so high up theres less of a column of air (and therefore less weight) above your head, resulting in lower pressure

Where is the highest air pressure?
air pressure is the highest near the earths surface
Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
Which weather condition most directly determines wind speeds at Earths surface?
Air pressure Gradient
The force with which air pushes on the earth's surface is called?
The measure of force with which air molecules are pushing on earths surface is called air pressure. At sea level, at what we call standard atmospheric pressure, the pressure is about 14.696 PSI, or about 29.92 inHg, or about 760 mmHg. This is 101.324
Is air temperature is cooler when sunlight hits the earths surface?
i belive so
Where is the highest air pressure?
air pressure is the highest near the earths surface
What happens to air pressure as the distance from Earths surface increases?
the air pressure increases
Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
The weight of the air on the earths surface is?
The weight of the air on the earth is called... Air Pressure
Do currents of cold sinking air produce regions of higher pressure or lower pressure at the earths surface?
Sinking air would add air to the surface, raising the pressure.
Earths surface winds blow from regions of higher what?
Air pressure toward regions of lower air pressure
Is air pressure weak or strong at earths surface?
weak and strong,it depends
Which weather condition most directly determines wind speeds at Earths surface?
Air pressure Gradient
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above earths surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
Why does air pressure drop as you move away from the earths surface?
In simple terms... gravity ! Gravity is holding the air close to the surface of the Earth. The further away you are from the surface - the lower the gravity - and thus the lower the air pressure.
What happens when the atmospheric pressure is greatest near the Earths surface?
Air pressure is always greater nearer the earth surface than at altitude due to the mass of air above.
Which planet s air pressure is 30 km above the earths surface?
mercury
