The higher up you go in elevation the thinner the air around you becomes making it hard to breathe for many people.

The air pressure inside the can compare to the air pressure outside the can equal lower or higher?
There is no difference of the average local air pressure inside or outside of the headphone.
What happens to balloons when they are let go?
well it depends what type of balloon it is if it is filled with helium it will float higher and higher until it will pop under the air pressure. but if it a ballon filled with normal air it will just float back down or get blown away if there is wind
Does the air inside a fully pumped basketball have a lower or higher pressure than the air outside?
the higher pressure is due to a greater number of gas particles per unit volume inside the ball then in the surrounding air.
When you drive down a mountain what makes your ears experience those uncomfortable sensations?
Your ears pop on a mountain when there's a difference in air pressure between your inner ear and the air outside. The air in your inner ear exchanges pretty slowly. And since the air is much thinner at the top of the mountain than it is near the bottom, if you go down quickly enough (like by driving) the pressures can't equalize gradually. The higher pressure air at the bottom of the mountain presses on your eardrums until they "pop" and the pressure equalizes. That can hurt!
What happens if you take all the air out of bottle?
It will become vacuum sealed, and opening the bottle will cause a sudden release of low pressure, where higher pressure air from it's surroundings is 'sucked' into the bottle, equalizing the pressure.
When you get higher what happens to air pressure?
Air pressure decreases as you go higher.
What happens to gas particles when air leaks out in an inflated ball?
Gas particles travel from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure when air leaks out of an inflated ball.
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above the earth surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above earths surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
What happens to air pressure when the temperature changes?
air pressure becomes less in cold tempuratures
What happens to pressure at different temperatures?
Pressure (such as air in a balloon) can increase with higher temps and decrease with lower temps.
What happens to air pressure when you move higher above the earth surface?
The air pressure decreases the higher you go. This the reason that climbers hoping to reach the top of Mount Everest, carry air cylinders as the air is so thin.
Why does pressure drop as you travel upward from earth surface?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above an object. When one goes higher, there is less air above and so the pressure drops.
Why does the pressure drop as you travel upward from earth's surface?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above an object. When one goes higher, there is less air above and so the pressure drops.
What happens to pressure as the air rises in the troposphere?
Air pressure is simply the weight of the air above you. Air pressure falls with height because the higher you go up, the less air there is above you to weigh down on you.
What do air density and air pressure have in common?
At a given temperature, the higher the air density, the higher the air pressure.
What happens if pressure is higher inside than outside a toothpaste tube?
The tube will not contain lots of air
