What else can I help you with?
Air at lower altitude is what compared to air at higher altitude?
the higher you are the more the density decreases
Why does the air become less dense as the altitude increases?
Because there is less air above, pushing down.
Why are airplanes faster at high altitude?
Higher altitude air is less dense. Less density means less air; less air means less friction, and less friction means a higher speed.
If altitude increaseswhat happens to the density?
Air becomes less dense as you climb the mountain.
Why air pressure decreases with an increase altitude?
there is less air above you, and the denser cold air sinks while less dense hot air rises.
Does pressure decrease with altitude?
Yes, pressure decreases with altitude. As altitude increases, the air becomes less dense, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure.
How does the temperature of the air change as you increase in altitude in the troposphere?
As you increase in altitude in the troposphere, the temperature usually decreases. This is because the air becomes less dense with higher altitude, leading to less heat retention and a decrease in temperature.
Why is it colder the higher you go in altitude?
As you go higher in altitude, the air becomes thinner and less dense. Thinner air is not able to hold heat as well as denser air, so the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. This is why it is colder the higher you go in altitude.
How does the speed of sound change with altitude?
The speed of sound increases with altitude. This is because the air is less dense at higher altitudes, allowing sound waves to travel faster through the thinner air.
Why does air become less dense as you increase altitude?
gravity, denser things go down. -earth science student
What happens to air pressure's rate of change as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, the rate of change of air pressure decreases. This is because the air becomes less dense at higher altitudes, leading to a more gradual decrease in pressure with increasing altitude.
Why does atmospheric pressure decrease as you ascend in altitude on Earth?
As you go higher in altitude, the air becomes less dense, meaning there are fewer air molecules above you exerting pressure. This decrease in air density leads to a decrease in atmospheric pressure as you ascend in altitude on Earth.
