The density of air decreases with increasing altitude because air at high altitudes is under less pressure.
What else can I help you with?
Air density decreases with elevation increase. Is there an equation to make this calulation?
as you increase elevation (height above sea level0the density of the air decreases.
Why does density of air decrease with increase in height?
The density of air decreases with an increase in height due to the decrease in pressure and temperature with altitude. As you go higher in the atmosphere, there are fewer air molecules present, leading to lower air density.
What happens to the density of air molecules as you increase in altitude?
As you increase in altitude, the density of air molecules decreases. This is because the air pressure decreases with increasing altitude, leading to a lower concentration of air molecules in a given volume of space.
Does the density of the air increase as altitude increases?
The density of air decreases with increasing altitude.
What changes more rapidly with height pressure or density?
Pressure changes more rapidly with height compared to density. This is because pressure decreases exponentially with height due to the decrease in the weight of air above, while density decreases more gradually with height as a result of the decreasing number of air molecules.
Why does the density of the atmosphere decrease with the height?
ice floats on top of water due to its lower density.... similarly, the gases with lower density lies in the upper atmospheric layers and the ones with larger density lie on the lower most atmospheric layers. so the overall density of air decreases with height.
How is it that the altitude decrease and the density of the air does what?
Altitude decreases, pressure increase, temperature decreases (some, but less effect than pressure), density goes up.
How height related with density?
Generally, as height increases, atmospheric pressure decreases which results in lower air density. This is because the concentration of air molecules is lower at higher altitudes. However, local conditions such as temperature and humidity can also impact air density at a given height.
What happens if your density is lighter than the density of air?
you will start to float upwards in the atmosphere. The density of air decreases as you go higher in the atmosphere. You will stop going upwards when you reach a height where the air density is the same as your density.
Where is air density is greatest?
At the bottom of the troposphere
What does air pressure do when altitude increases?
Air pressure decreases with increase of height.
Why does density decrease with height in the atmosphere?
Density decreases with height in the atmosphere because as you go higher, there is less air above pushing down on the air below, causing it to spread out and become less dense.
