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.

When altitude increases does air density?
The density of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.
Why does density of air decrease with increase in height?
The density of air decreases with increasing altitude because air at high altitudes is under less pressure.
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the temperature increase or decrease?
decrease
What is the density of the mesophere?
the density of the atmosphere is about 0.00132
What causes density to decrease?
an increase in volume and/or a decrease in mass
Why does the density of the atmosphere decrease with height?
The Earth's atmosphere declines with altitude.
When altitude increases does air density?
The density of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.
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.
How would you explain to your grandmother the characteristic decrease in height with advancing age?
I would explain to my grandmother that as we age, the discs between the vertebrae in our spine become compressed and lose fluid, causing a decrease in height. Additionally, changes in posture and bone density can also contribute to this decrease in height.
Why does density of air decrease with increase in height?
The density of air decreases with increasing altitude because air at high altitudes is under less pressure.
What happens as a result of the sun evaporating water from an ocean or lake?
The density of water increase, also the humidity of the atmosphere; the temperature decrease.
What is the reason you categorize the atmosphere into different layers?
Density of air decreases on increasing height, hence we categorize the atmosphere into different layers from Troposhere to Ionosphere at particular kilometers respectively.
Why the density of air decrease with the increase in height?
Because the higher you go, the less air there is above to push down and compress the air around you.
How do you decrease height?
my height is 6'1". i want to decrease my height up 5 inches . pleae help me.
When a submarine pumps water out of its floating tanks its density decrease and it floats why does its density decrease?
Density = mass / volume. If the mass decreases, the density decreases.
Why does water's density decrease after potassium chloride salt is added?
The water density doesn't decrease.
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the temperature increase or decrease?
decrease
