The higher you go the lower the temperature gets resulting in particles in the air moving slower and spacing themselves apart farther.
Temperature decreases with altitude because pressure decreases. This is the primary reason you can get snow at low latitudes but at high elevations. At elevations above 15-20,000 feet, you can even have glaciers, which is essentially snow that falls and doesn't melt.

Extremely high elevations tend to have lower population densities due to harsh living conditions, such as extreme cold, low oxygen levels, and limited access to resources. These challenges make it difficult for people to inhabit and thrive in such areas, resulting in sparse populations.

Low air pressure.
Places at high elevations often have cooler temperatures due to the thinner air which allows less heat to be retained. The air is also typically drier at higher elevations, leading to lower humidity levels. Additionally, the higher elevation can lead to stronger UV radiation exposure due to thinner atmosphere.
