The air closer to the Earth's surface is subject to the weight of all the air above it, which creates higher pressure. As you move higher up in the atmosphere, there is less air above, resulting in lower pressure and less compression. This variation in pressure creates different layers of air density in the atmosphere.

Why is Earths atmosphere a fluid?

Earth's atmosphere is considered a fluid because its gases can flow and move freely, much like a liquid. It exhibits properties of a fluid, such as the ability to be compressed, flow around objects, and transmit pressure. This fluid nature allows for weather systems to form and for the atmosphere to circulate around the planet.
