The atmosphere is most dense at sea level, where the concentration of air molecules is greatest due to the weight of the air above pressing down. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, leading to a lower density of air. This density gradient is why we experience thinner air at higher elevations, such as in mountainous regions. The majority of the Earth's atmosphere is concentrated within the first few kilometers above the surface.
