Why is the air different in Denver than in Louisville?

The air in Denver is thinner because of its higher elevation, which can lead to lower oxygen levels. On the other hand, Louisville is closer to sea level, so the air is denser with higher oxygen concentration. This difference in elevation results in a noticeable difference in air pressure and composition between the two cities.
