The Ear pops due to air pressure increasing in decreasing. eg a plane taking off or landing.

What might limit how high a hot air balloon can get?
The density of hot air is lower than air at low altitudes, but the air at higher altitudes is very thin. A hot air balloon can only rise until its density equals the surrounding air.
Why do clouds form as warm air rises and not at lower altitudes?
Condensation by warm air
What clouds are often found in lower altitudes and spread across the sky?
maybe cirrus
Why do ink pen start leaking on high altitude?
Because the air pressure is lower on high altitudes. Envision it; there's less air pressing down the higher you get. Now, the ink inside the pen is still 'used to' lower altitudes and higher pressures, so the pressure inside the pen is high as well. It stays like this as you ascend and the air pressure gets lower. Eventually the pressure inside is so much higher than the pressure outside that the pen starts leaking. You can see the same with bags of crisps (puff up as you get higher) and deep sea fish that are brought to the surface (sometimes blow up altogether). It's also responsible for painful ears in a descending airplane - the outside pressure gets higher rapidly and your ears aren't ready for it yet.
When an electron in an atom moves from a lower energy state to a higher state?
An electrons moves from lower energy to higher energy when it is excited.
In general what true about places at higher altitudes?
They have cooler temperatures than places at lower altitudes.
In general what is true about places at higher altitudes?
They have cooler temperatures than places at lower altitudes.
Why does it take longer to boil water at higher altitudes than lower altitudes?
PAULY D IS A BEAST ik this is not the answer
Why do recipes change at higher altitudes?
The air pressure gets lower!
Would you expect sound to travel faster at higher or lower altitudes?
faster in higher altitiudes
Can you sun burn faster in the mountains in the summer than lower altitudes?
Yes the sun is more direct at higher altitudes.
Is the oxygen less at high altitudes?
Yes. Air is less dense at higher altitudes, so the oxygen is at a lower concentration.
Why did early pilots faint in the air?
lower oxygen levels in higher altitudes.
Why is it possible to boil normal water at higher altitudes?
There is lower air pressure.
Why do jet airplanes fly at high altitudes?
Jet airplanes fly at high altitudes because it is more fuel efficient. Flying at higher altitudes uses less fuel than flying at lower altitudes.
What are the advantages of a high altitude flight?
One advantage is that there is usually less turbulence at higher altitudes. I think because you are flying higher than those "pockets" of turbulence that you experience at lower altitudes.
Is gravity the same everywhere?
No, it's slightly lower at higher altitudes, slightly higher near dense rock formations.
