Best Answer

As air density decreases, the pressure it exerts decreases, but the pressure exerted on it increases.

Remember the equation:
PV=nRT
And since n=mass/molar mass,
P=nRT/D, density and pressure exerted ON the system have an inverse relationship--as one increases, the other decreases

How does altitude affect density and air pressure?

Altitude has a large affect on the air pressure and air density. Air density reduces with altitude and air pressure reduces with altitude as well.
