What else can I help you with?
Why does the air become less dense as the altitude increases?
Because there is less air above, pushing down.
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 air bcomes less dense in altitude?
Because of less gravity in high altitude
What does the temperature do as you increase in altitude?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases because there are less molecules in the atmosphere to hold in the heat.
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 the density of the earth's atmosphere increase with altitude?
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.
Does sound increase or decrease with altitude?
Sound typically decreases with altitude because the air is less dense at higher altitudes, leading to less efficient transmission of sound waves. This can cause sounds to be muffled or harder to hear as you move to higher altitudes.
Do plates become more dense or less dense when they become cooler?
Cooler material is more dense and hotter material is less. This means that plates become more dense as they cool.
Air at lower altitude is what compared to air at higher altitude?
the higher you are the more the density decreases
What happens to the temperature as the height of the atmosphere increase?
Generally, the temperature decreases as you move higher in the atmosphere. This is because the air at higher altitudes is less dense and receives less direct sunlight to warm it up. This relationship between temperature and altitude is known as the lapse rate.
Does pressure decrease with altitude?
Yes, pressure decreases with altitude. As altitude increases, the air becomes less dense, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure.
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.
