The summit of Mount Everest has low pressure. At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.
At the summit of Mount Everest there is approximately 33% of the oxygen that is available at sea level.
The air pressure at the top of Mount Everest is low pressure. At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.

because the air is so thin and there is "less" air
The higher you climb the less oxygen there is. At the summit of Mount Everest there is approximately 33% of the oxygen that is available at sea level. That is why climbers use bottled oxygen on Mount Everest and other high altitude mountains to help them breathe more easily.
The higher you climb the less oxygen there is. At the summit of Mount Everest there is approximately 33% of the oxygen that is available at sea level.
The air pressure on the summit of Mt Everest is about 30 kPa or 300 mbar. This is a third of the air pressure at sea level (1/3 of 1 atm).
At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.
Air pressure doesn't affect it at all.
It is difficult to breathe on the summit of Mount Everest because there is less air to breathe than what is at sea level.
