At the top of Mount Everest, the percentage of oxygen in the air is the same as that at sea level (about 21% oxygen). However, atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases, and the atmospheric pressure at the summit of Everest is 33% that of sea level.
Therefore, there is 66% less oxygen than there is at sea level.

∙ 14y agoIt depends on how high the mountain actually is. The only thing we can definitely say is that there is less air due to decreased density; therefore, there is less oxygen. The actual percentage of oxygen doesn't change, but there is just less air at higher altitudes.

The partial pressure of oxygen, however, will be lower on Pikes Peak than at sea level.

What is the percentage of Oxygen on earth?
Earth contains 21 percent of oxygen in the atmosphere!coz earth contains only hot gases and oxygen is not a hot gas!:D
Oxygen makes up about what percentage of earth's air today?
20.9 % (almost 21%)Half a billion years ago the percentage was higher (in the mid-30s) due to abundant plant life. Before photosynthesis evolved, atmospheric oxygen was close to zero & poisonous to the earliest cells.it is 21% oxygen,that is ok because it isn't good to breathe pure oxygen
Why it is difficult to drink liquid with straw on the top of the mountain?
It would be more difficult to drink with a straw on the top of a mountain because of low atmospheric pressure. You would not have as much pressure to push the drink up the straw.
The highest percentage in the atmosphere is of?
The highest percentage in the Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen, at 78%. Then oxygen(21%) and CO2, 0.9%.
Oxygen and carbon make up what percentage of elements in the human body?
Approximately 83% of the human body is either oxygen or carbon. About 18% percent of the human body is carbon and around 65% is oxygen.
Why is it hard to breath on the top of a mountain?
Answer: Because the percentage of oxygen in the air is not as much as it is at sea level. When higher altitude is attained, oxygen levels drop. Hope this helps.
Why is there less oxygen on the top of a mountain?
because of the density of the air and the pressure
What is the percent of oxygen at the top of a mountain?
It's usually 10% normal
The percent of oxygen at the top of a mountain is?
It's usually 10% normal
Why is it cooler on the top of a mountain than on the bottom of a mountain?
because the air at the top of the mountain ha s a lot less oxygen in it at the bottom of it. also the air particles have less room to move then at the bottom of the mountain
Why do people experience shortness of breath more quickly at the top of a mountain than along a seashore?
people experience shortness of breath at top of mountain because of lower oxygen
Why do fewer trees grow at the top of a mountain than at the bottom?
Because higher up there is less oxygen therefore plants would not survive because the need oxygen to stay alive. Also the climate at the top of a mountain is a lot more harsh than the bottom.
How will the air at the top of a mountain be different from the air at the base?
The air at the top of the mountain is less dense, meaning there are less particles of oxygen in a certain are than on the ground. It is harder to breathe because the air is so thin, there is not enough oxygen to breathe normally until you get used to it.
Why would the top of a mountain have a low air pressure?
The higher you are in the atmosphere, the lower the air pressure. Seeing that the top of a mountain is quite high, the air pressure is low; the air is thinner. This is why you need oxygen tanks to reach the top of Mount Everest
What is on top of a mountain?
top of mountain
What is the percentage of oxygen in sucrose?
The percentage of oxygen in sucrose is 51,41549 %.
What is saturated percentage of oxygen?
Saturated percentage of oxygen (SpO2) is a measurement of oxygen levels in the blood
