What happens to air pressure as you move away from earths surface?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from Earth's surface. This is because the weight of air above you becomes less as you move higher in the atmosphere, resulting in lower air pressure at higher altitudes.
Where is air pressure exerted and how does it change as you move up through earths atmosphere?
Air pressure is exerted in all directions throughout Earth's atmosphere, but it is stronger closer to the surface due to the weight of the air above pushing down. As you move up through the atmosphere, air pressure decreases because there is less air above exerting force downward. This is why air pressure is lower at higher altitudes.
Does the pressure in the atmosphere increase or decrease?
Going farther up into air, pressure decreases. Going down, pressure increases. When you think about it, more air is pressing down on you when you are standing on earth because more is on top of you. When you are up in the air, there isn't as much air pressing on you which shows that there isn't as much pressure. The same concept applies when under water; The farther you go under, more water is pressing on you than when you are more towards the surface which=more pressure (underwater).
As you rise further in the atmosphere air pressure does what?
As you rise higher in the atmosphere, air pressure decreases. This is because the higher you go, there is less air above pushing down on you, resulting in lower air pressure. This decrease in pressure can affect breathing and gas exchange in the body at high altitudes.
Why is air preassuare greastest at the earths surface?
Air pressure is greatest at the Earth's surface because the weight of the air above exerts a force on the air below. As you move higher in the atmosphere, there is less air above pushing down on you, so the pressure decreases. At higher altitudes, there are fewer air molecules, resulting in lower air pressure.
What happens to air molecules as you go higher in earths atmosphere?
they are spread farther apart, causing the air to get thinner, making it harder to breathe. ;P
Why can elements be produced in the sun but not in the earths atmosphere?
The temperature and pressure in the sun are just a bit higher than anywhere on Earth.
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the particles get closer together or farther apart?
the particles get closer together because my class just talked about that stuff!!
Explain what hppens to air pressure as you move away from the earths surface?
Pressure increases as you get closer to earth.
How is air pressure effected by altitude?
With a higher altitude, there is a lower air pressure. This is caused by gravity pulling the gas molecules of our atmosphere closer to its surface. when the molecules are farther away from the Earth's surface the gravitational pull is weaker thus making the atmosphere thinner higher up and thicker closer to the surface.

Does air pressure increase with the altitude?
No, air pressure decreases with altitude because the density of air molecules is lower at higher elevations. This reduction impacts breathing and weather patterns significantly.
When you get higher in the atmosphere does the air get warmer or colder?
colder, the farther up you go, the lower the tempurature
What is the pressure like on each of the atmosphere?
The higher you go up the lower the pressure but less air
How thick is the martian atmosphere?
Much thicker, almost certainly at least as thick as the diameter of the earth. Its pressure is much higher as well due to the high mass of the planet and its atmosphere and the strong gravity.
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above earths surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
