The oxygen molecules spread out and the density is less. So its harder for your lungs to "find" oxygen molecules.

What would happen if you woke up one morning and there was no more atmosphere?
No, humans can't breathe if there is no atmosphere. On our Moon, the lack of a breathable atmosphere mean that the astronauts had to breath using oxygen tanks.
What does thin atmosphere feel like?
you couldn't really feel it because if you went up there you couldn't breathe
Why is atmosphere important?
The atmosphere is important for two main reasons. It is the air that you breathe so, no atmosphere, no breathing. The other reason is it protects you by burning up the meteoroids that could hit earth.
What is the most abundant gas in our atomopshere?
In the Earth's Atmosphere; Nitrogen, this makes up about 78% of the Air we breathe.
Why does the carbon dioxide you breathe out rises?
Even though Carbon Dioxide gas is the heaviest of the gases that make up our atmosphere. Breathing them out of your lungs heats up those Carbon Dioxide molecules to your body temperature and this helps them to rise into the atmosphere and as they cool they fall.
Why is it harder to breathe he higher you go?
Because - the higher up the atmosphere you go - the less oxygen is in the air you breathe. Our bodies need a certain percentage of the air we breathe to be Oxygen - reduce the amount of oxygen in each breath, and it soon affects the body.
Why dont animals use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere?
Animals do not use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere because plants produce oxygen. When they breathe, plants inhale carbon dioxide (which is what animals breathe out) and exhale oxygen (which is what animals breathe in).
Why is it harder to breath on a mountain the at sea level?
Because the air is thinner up there. There is less oxygen in the air, so it is harder to breathe.
Why is it harder to breathe after exercise?
when you breath faster you heartrate goes up what make breath heavier.
When you get higher in the atmosphere does the air get warmer or colder?
colder, the farther up you go, the lower the tempurature

Why would it be harder to breath at the top of a mountain?
because the higher up you go the closer to earths atmosphere you are and it gets stuffy and the air is harder on your lungs

Why as the elevation increases the temperature decreases?
The world is warmed by sunlight, which passes through the (mostly) transparent atmosphere, and warms up the ground. The farther away from the ground you get, the farther you are from the warmth of the ground.
What effects the layering of earths atmosphere?
the density and temperature of the layers. The farther you go up, the less dense each layer is.
Why do you need to breathe faster at the top of a tall mountain?
the air is thinner the higher up you go so it is harder to breathe. That's why there are pressurized cabins on airplanes because you wouldn't be able to breathe without the pressure keeping the air inside
