Air pressure close to surface of the earth is 1 atmosphere.
But as the altitude increases, air gets thinner in other words the molecules in air are farther than the one close to earth's surface.
This causes the atmospheric pressure to decrease as we increase in altitude.

What kind of weather would be cause by a drop in air pressure?
Generally, a drop in air pressure causes precipitation - rain, snow, sleet, hail, and so forth.
Will air pressure drop if a bigger air hose distributed to smaller air hose?
No. At the junction of the small hose to the pressure is great
What is OSI air pressure equal to?
ounce(s) per square inch.
An increase in air pressure will cause the mercury in a barometer to?
An increase in air pressure will cause the mercury in a barometer to rise, indicating higher atmospheric pressure. This typically indicates fair weather conditions.
Why do Fans work but no hot air?
The fan is blowing air faster than it is going in the air, due to increased in velocity of air pressure will drop.... due to pressure drop, temperature will be decreased so we feel cold air. .... Sonu Paroche
Why the pressure drop is low in packed column?
air reduction
Does raindrop formation cause air pressure to drop or does dropping air pressure cause raindrops to form?
all are wrong mates
Is temperature related to pressure air?
Temperature is related to air pressure because the air pressure can determine the movement of wind. If cool winds move from areas of high pressure to low pressure zones, the temperature in that place will drop.
When you are moving higher to sky why do we suppose to get cold?
Because there is less air pressure, due to the drop in air pressure the temperature drops as well.
When you see a drop in air pressure what kind of weather is coming?
snow or rain
How would you expect the reading on a barometer to change as a storm moves into your area?
Yes. You would expect the pressure to drop. A low pressure system consists of rising warm air that swirl around a center. Because the air is rising, it lowers the air pressure pressed on the ground. Because of this the pressure-sensing barometer will read that the air pressure is lower. Lower pressure means rain because the warm rising air makes clouds. Expect the pressure to drop as a storm is a low pressure system. Note that cyclones/hurricanes have even lower pressure.
What is needed in the air before a rain drop can form?
dust particals low air pressure and something else
