Describe Earths atmosphere at sea levelHow does the pressure change as the distance from earth increases?
It decreases not just because of gravity. The pressure decreases because there is less air above you. As you increase your altitude, just like if you were coming up from deep under the water, there will be less fluid on top of you pushing down, so the pressure will decrease.
Like altitude what word is the distance above sea level?

Why is the altitude of the sun measured in degrees above the horizon - rather than in feet and meters like aircraft?
The altitude of aircraft is measured above the ground, not above the horizon, and it's a distance. The altitude of the sun is not measured above the ground, and it's not a distance. If it were, it would always be some number near 93 million miles. The altitude of the sun is the angle that an observer sees between his horizon and the sun, and it's different for different observers in different places.
What city is situated above sea level?

Why is atmospheric pressure lower on the top of a mountain than it is at sea level?
When you are at a higher altitude, like on a mountain, you are farther up in the atmosphere meaning there is less air pressing down on you. When you are at a lower altitude, like at sea level, there is more air pressing down on you because there is more atmosphere above you.
How does height above sea level affect climate?
Air is an insulator, the higher the altitude the less air there is, therefore less insulation and the suns heat can escape easily. The higher the altitude the more the atmosphere behaves like a vacuum.

What is a normal height to skydive from?
Skydivers like to go at between 14,000 and 15,000 Altitude Above Ground Level, so they get more time to do tricks, practice relative work or just enjoy the feeling of dropping like a rock at 120mph for as long as possible.
