Because the higher you go, the less amount of air is it above you, pushing down.
Just like water pressure is no big deal at the Surface, but gets bigger the deeper you dive.
The summit of Mount Everest has low pressure. At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.

low pressure
low pressure region
atmosphere is low in mt.everest
The higher you are in the atmosphere, the lower the air pressure. Seeing that the top of a mountain is quite high, the air pressure is low; the air is thinner. This is why you need oxygen tanks to reach the top of Mount Everest
The boiling point of water changes with altitude. While it boils at 100C at sea level, at the summit of Mount Everest water would boil at a lower temperature of 72C.
In Charlottesville, an egg left in boiling water for 10 minutes becomes a firm, "hard boiled" egg. On the top of Mount Everest, with a height of 29,029 feet, an egg left in boiling water remains soft indefinitely. The egg fails to cook on Mount Everest because (A) water boils at low temperature when the air pressure is very low. (B) water boils at low temperature when gravity is weak. (C) water has poor thermal conductivity when its pressure is very low. (D) an egg cannot get very hot when gravity is weak.
