The density of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.


What happens to air as density increases?

-- The density of a closed jar full of air doesn't change, no matter how high you take it. -- The density of the open air in the atmosphere that's all around you decreases steadily as your altitude increases.


What happens if your density is lighter than the density of air?

you will start to float upwards in the atmosphere. The density of air decreases as you go higher in the atmosphere. You will stop going upwards when you reach a height where the air density is the same as your density.


Does the density of the earth's atmosphere increase with altitude?

The atmosphere becomes less dense with altitude. Atmosphere, thin though it is, has weight, and it is the weight of the air above which compresses the air below it, to greater density.

How does air density in the thermosphere change?

As you go though the atmoshpere, the density of the air decreases. This means the gas molecules that make up the atmosphere are farther apart at high altitudes then they are at sea level. Noah Bazoo

When air pressure is constant throughout a region of the atmosphere the region is in a state is called equilibrium.


What change happens in the outside air as an airplane flies higher in the atmosphere?

The atmosphere is densest at sea level, so as the density of air goes down, so does the atmospheric pressure. The atmosphere gets less and less dense as you rise higher above the sea level.
