The air gets thinner. That's why if you are climbing a mountain the trees are shorter as you get to the top because they don't have as much air as the lower atmosphere.

What happens too air density as you go upin layers of the atmosphere?

Air density decreases as you go higher up in the layers of the atmosphere. This is because the pressure decreases with altitude, causing the air molecules to spread out, resulting in lower density.

Does air pressure increase or decrease as you move up into the atmosphere?

Air pressure decreases as you go up.


What happens when you go up into the atmosphere?

As you go up into the atmosphere, the air pressure decreases, which can make it harder to breathe and may lead to altitude sickness. The temperature also typically decreases with altitude. Additionally, you can experience changes in air density, which can affect how well you can hear sound and how quickly objects fall.

How does air change the higher up in the atmosphere you go?

It becomes less dense.


When air pressure goes up what happens to the temp?

When air pressure goes up, the temperature usually goes down. This is because as air pressure increases, the air molecules come closer together, which reduces their kinetic energy and therefore lowers the temperature.


When you get higher in the atmosphere does the air get warmer or colder?

colder, the farther up you go, the lower the tempurature


What happens to air pressure as you go up mountain why?

A 1inch by 1inch column of air from the edge of the atmosphere to sea level weighs 14.7 pounds, 80% of that is in the Troposphere. As you go up, the air within that column has less mass, making the air "thinner", and air pressure goes decreases.
