It decreases as you move away from Earth. Close to Earth's surface, the air pressure (and density) decrease by a factor of 2, every 5 kilometers or so.

What happens to the strength of this gravitational field as an objects moves further away from Earth?
The further away from the Earth's surface you travel - the weaker the gravitational pull is.
What happens to the weight of an object when it moves farther away from the centre of the earth?
the weight of an object grows more
When a listener moves toward or away from a source of sound does the wave speed or wave frequency change?
When a source moves toward the Earth its wavelength is shortened, a phenomenon known as blueshift. When a source moves away from the Earth its wavelength is increased, a phenomenon known as redshift.
Why does air pressure drop as you move away from the earths surface?
In simple terms... gravity ! Gravity is holding the air close to the surface of the Earth. The further away you are from the surface - the lower the gravity - and thus the lower the air pressure.
What happens when the velocity of the Earth is doubled?
If the velocity of Earth were to double, it would have 4 times the kinetic energy. Twice the current kinetic energy would already be enough to catapult the Earth away from the Sun - never to return.
What is the Difference between an active earth pressure and passive earth pressure?
When the wall moves away from the backfill, the earth pressure on the wall decreases. This minimum pressure is called active earth pressure. On the other hand if the wall moves towards the backfill, the earth pressure increases. This maximum pressure is called passive earth pressure.
What happens to the strength of this gravitational field as an objects moves further away from Earth?
The further away from the Earth's surface you travel - the weaker the gravitational pull is.
What happens when the distance from the sun gets larger?
If the Earth moves further away from the sun we will freeze.
What happens to the weight of an object when it moves farther away from the centre of the earth?
the weight of an object grows more
What happens when the space shuttle takes off and moves away fromm earth?
It masses increases and the weight increases
Why passive earth pressure is greater than active earth pressure?
The passive earth pressure occurs when when a wall or plane moves towards earth. This will create additional pressure where as in the case of active pressure wall moves away from earth and it will reduce the pressure on the wall. From the co-efficient of active earthpressure and passive earthpressure,i.e Ka = 1-sin( phi)/1+sin( phi) Kp = 1+sin( phi)/1-sin( phi where phi is the angle of internal friction of soil.
As the blood moves away away from the heart does the blood pressure increase or decrese?
The pressure decreases as it moves away from the heart.
What happens to light as it moves away from its source?
It dims......Nikki
What happens when Pluto moves away from the sun?
It gets colder.
How does atmospheric pressure change as you move away from the surface of earth?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from Earth's surface.
Is the sun out at night?
yes it is. but the earth moves away from the sun at night and it moves out of its light and into darkness.
How much does the moon move away from earth each year?
The moon moves about 4cm away from the earth each year. This is because the moons orbit around the earth is tilted about 5 degrees. The moon is spiraling away from the earth and one day we might not have a moon.
