No. You may weight a little less, but density is mass per volume. Neither mass nor volume changes when you gain altitude.

Which would provide the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest distance during climb after takeoff?
VX
Is clay denser than sponge?
Yes much more denser than sponge.
Why can glider pilots gain height by flying over a large plowed field?
Glider pilots gain altitude by circling over a large plowed field because a plowed area gives off heat. Heat rises so the glider takes advantage of that to gain altitude.
Why is wood denser than water?
Most types of wood are not denser than water--they float in/on water. For the wood types that are denser than water, the explanation is that they contain molecules that are denser than water (e.g. resin) and the average distance between molecules is smaller.
Why does the refracted ray move towards the normal when it moves from rarer to denser?
The speed of the ray is slower in the denser material. the denser material encounters more interference (time) to travel the same distance.
Is air denser at higher levels?
No. Air density decreases with altitude.
How does increasing altitude affect air density?
Thr higher up you Gothenburg denser the air becomes
Why does air become less dense as you increase altitude?
gravity, denser things go down. -earth science student
What is the craft that uses heat to gain altitude?
A Hot Air balloon.
How do you fly up on a hornet on halo reach?
Hold down the right trigger to gain altitude but when you let it go you will lose altitude
Does high altitude make you gain weight?
No. Continuously eating more calories than you use up is what makes you gain weight.
Why air pressure decreases with an increase altitude?
there is less air above you, and the denser cold air sinks while less dense hot air rises.
Which would provide the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest distance during climb after takeoff?
VX
Is air denser near Earth's surface than high in the atmosphere?
Yes air is denser near the earth's surface than high in the atmosphere. The farther up air rises, there are less molecules of air between the outer edges of the atmosphere. This means there is a lot less air weighing down. A general rule of thumb is the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure: the lower the altitude, the higher the pressure.
How much increase in horse power is gained every degree the air temp drops going into your engine?
The amount of power gain depends on many factors. Engine size, intake system, altitude, etc. A 1 degree drop would gain you almost nothing.The amount of power gain depends on many factors. Engine size, intake system, altitude, etc. A 1 degree drop would gain you almost nothing.
How do birds gain altitude by circling?
Soaring birds are too heavy to fly for long distances under their own power, so they gain altitude for free by circling inside columns of rising air called thermals. When they get sufficient altitude, they leave the thermal and glide to the next one. That, BTW, is exactly the way sailplane pilots travel cross-country.
How can altitude change the temperature?
As you gain altitude in the troposphere, the layer of atmosphere closest to the ground and extending about 8 miles up, the temperature will decrease by 1 degree Fahrenheit for every 200 feet.
