No. Air has a mean density of about 1.2 kg/m^3 at sea level; less at higher elevations. Earth has a mean density of about 5,500 kg/m^3.

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.
