Proved that the air coverd space?

Air does not cover space. Air is the atmosphere of the Earth and as you ho higher the air gets thinner and thinner.


Why is the air thinner at higher altitudes?

The air is thinner at higher altitudes because there is less atmospheric pressure pushing down on it. This causes the air molecules to be more spread out, making the air less dense.


What happens to air pressure as you move higher above the earth surface?

The air is thinner the higher you go.


What happens to air pressure as you move higher above earths surface?

The air is thinner the higher you go.


Why does air become thinner at higher altitudes?

Air becomes thinner at higher altitudes because the pressure decreases as you go higher up in the atmosphere. This means that there are fewer air molecules in a given volume of space, making the air less dense.


What is the atmosphere like in higher elevations?

The air is thinner than air in lower elevations.


Why is it colder the higher you go in altitude?

As you go higher in altitude, the air becomes thinner and less dense. Thinner air is not able to hold heat as well as denser air, so the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. This is why it is colder the higher you go in altitude.


Why do airports at higher altitudes require a longer airstrip?

the air is thinner


Why would a baseball fly farther in Denver than in New York?

Since Denver is at a higher elevation than Milwaukee, the air is thinner. Thinner air has fewer molecules, so there is less friction as the ball flies through the air. Less friction means that the force will move the ball a longer distance.


Why is the air thinner as you increase your altitude?

Air is compressed (squeezed) by the air above it (due to gravity), the higher you go, the less air there is above you.


As elevation increases this becomes thinner?

The atmosphere. As you go higher in elevation, the atmosphere becomes thinner because the air pressure decreases, leading to lower air density.


Do asthma symptoms get worse at a higher elevation?

Usually, yes because the higher the elevation, the thinner the air.
