air grows thinner so it gives less pressure on the earth's surface
As air rises it decompresses, as pressure decreases with increasing altitude. All gasses cool when decompressed. This process is called adiabatic cooling.
The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.
The atmosphere
The atmosphere becomes less dense with altitude. Atmosphere, thin though it is, has weight, and it is the weight of the air above which compresses the air below it, to greater density.
Temperature decreases with increasing altitude, Also air concentration decreases with altitude.
in the lower atmosphere the air gets colder with increasing altitude.

No, air pressure decreases with altitude. As you go farther towards earth's surface, the weight of the atmosphere presses down with increasing force.
Yes it does but the rate changes depending on what you come across. But yes, it does decrease.
The rate of change of air pressure as a function of increasing altitude decreases with increasing altitude.
The five layers of the atmosphere have different atmospheric temperature that occurs with increasing altitude. The layers also thin out with height from the surface.
The density of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.
The temp in the atmosphere approaches -90C at an altitude of 80 kilometers.
No. Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases.
As air rises it decompresses, as pressure decreases with increasing altitude. All gasses cool when decompressed. This process is called adiabatic cooling.
The density of air decreases with increasing altitude.
