Is air pressure greater at high altitudes or low altitudes?

It is greater at a lower altitude.


How does altitude in the atmosphere affect air pressure?

The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.


Can air pressure falls drastically at high altitude?

Air pressure falls of as one gains altitude. At high altitude the air pressure is very low but it does not "falls drastically", which implies a sudden change.


Why air bcomes less dense in altitude?

Because of less gravity in high altitude


Can high altitude affect you anywhere there would be high altitude?

well the air pressure decreases as you go higher up and so does the temperature due to the warm air expanding and cooling. so yes high altitude affects you anywhere


How does high altitude affect your car's engine?

High altitude gives you less air, therefore a bit less power


How does the density of the air affect pressure?

Pressure affects the density of air by increase of pressure increases the density


What effect does altitude have on sports games that use balls?

High altitude balls, during manufacture, are pressurized less so that, when opened at altitude, the balls are not too bouncy, as would be the case with normal tennis balls at altitude. I believe they are also manufactured to have approximately a 6% greater diameter. This greater cross-sectional area ,when traveling through thinner air (i.e., at altitude), should produce roughly similar flight characteristics as regular balls at sea level.


High pressure equals high altitude equals warm air?

Exactly!
