Because air is in gas form, it is compressable. This means that due to the effect of the Earth's gravity, the air at sea level is a lot more dense, because all the air above it is being pushed down and compressing the air below it. Because the Earth's gravity is uniform, it is safe to say that the air does not get thinner at any certain altitude, instead it gradually gets less and less dense as the altitude increases.

How much air pressure does Mars have?
Approximately 0,6% of Earth normal, about 6,36 millibars (600 pascals) It is however 20 times thiner on top of the Mont Olympus (30 pascals), and practically 2 times thicker in the depths of Hellas Planitia (1155 pascals). The higher pressure areas, if combined with temperatures ranging from 0,1° C to 10° C, would be compatible with the presence of stable liquid water.
What is the average altatude of a jumbo jet?
The term Jumbo Jet has been generally applied to the Boeing 747.In my experience, they generally cruise at around 35,000ft to 38,000ft across the Atlantic.Different models, however, have a SERVICE CEILING* of over 40,000ft but that is not the same as a normal cruise altitude. Most commercial jetliners have a service ceiling of about 42,000 feet.*defined as the highest altitude at which an aircraft can maintain a rate of climb of 100 feet per minute.
Why does heating the air in hot air balloon make it rise?
Hot air is lighter than cold air, so cold air sinks and hot air rises; that makes the hot air balloon rise (if the air around the hot air balloon is heated as well, it won't rise, or sink if in the air).
