Why is the atmospheric pressure at the top of mt Everest 5 lbin squared much less than the atmospheric pressure here on earth 14.7 lbin squared?

The atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air on top of us. At the top of mount Everest, there is less air above the exhausted climber (because a lot of the air is below). Less air, less weight, less pressure.

What regulates the Earth's average temperature?
atmospheric pressure
Where on earth is atmospheric pressure greatest?
sea or oceans
Where on earth would you expect atmospheric pressure to be highest?
at the surface
Is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth?
Air pressure
What factor is most responsible for Earth's atmospheric pressure?
gravity,friction,atmospheric condition,coriolis force
Does Mars have extreme pressure?
The atmospheric pressure of Mars is 6 millibars as opposed to the 1,013 millibars of atmospheric pressure on Earth. Thus, its atmospheric pressure in relationship to Earth is extremely low.
What is Neptune's atmospheric pressure compared to earth's atmospheric pressure?
42% higher
How many more times is the atmospheric pressure in Jupiter's core greater than the atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface?
Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater
Where on earth is atmospheric pressure the lowest?
I would say it is at the top of Mount Everest. It averages 14.7 PSI at sea level and gets lower the farther up you go and that is supposed to be the highest place on earth.
Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere against the of the earth?
surface.
Why can you not breathe 3000 feet off the ground?
This Is Because the atmospheric pressure of earth is always acting.We did not feel this because our blood pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure.It is perfectly possible to breath at this altitude. Mt. Everest, which is much higher than this, has been climbed without any breathing aids.
What is ten bar?
Bar is a unit used to measure pressure, one bar is the normal atmospheric pressure of the on the surface of the earth, and ten bar is when the pressure is ten times the normal atmospheric pressure on the surface of the earth.
What regulates the Earth's average temperature?
atmospheric pressure
Where on earth is atmospheric pressure greatest?
sea or oceans
Atmospheric pressure as element of weather?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air or the pressure exerted onto the Earth by the air. Pressure changes can lead to different weather patterns.
Define thin atmosphere relating to mercury?
It is so thin that the atmospheric pressure is one half of a millionth of the earth's atmospheric pressure.
What is the atmospheric pressure of Mars?
The atmospheric pressure of Mars is 600 pascal or (0.087 psi) You're Welcome :D
