Pressure gets a lot lighter...(duh! there's no gravity) It is easier to breathe because the molecules are not as packed. My science teacher put it this way; think of a dog pile, who would feel the most weight? The person on the bottom, right? That's how air pressure works; the lower you are, the more jam packed the oxygen molecules are.

Pressure drops as you go up.

Becomes lower and lower.


What is the pressure like on each of the atmosphere?

The higher you go up the lower the pressure but less air


How does barometric pressure change with altitude?

Because pressure decreases as you go up in altitude and increases when you go down in altitude. Hope this helped!


How does the composition of gas change as you travel up through Earth's atmosphere?

The pressure and the temperature would go on increasing .


How does the atmoshpheric pressure change as you mve up away from sea level?

Atmospheric pressure decreases as you move up away from sea level. This is because there is less air above pushing down on you the higher you go. This change in pressure can lead to lower oxygen levels at higher elevations.


Do you have to go up in space to be an astronaut?

No u do not need to go up into space to be an astronaut. Actually many astronauts train and train but don't get to go up in space.


Why does the temperature change when you go up an mountain?

The temperature changes as you go up a mountain due to the reduction in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude. This drop in pressure causes the air to expand and cool, resulting in colder temperatures at higher elevations.


Could you measure that air takes up space?

Blowing up a balloon is essentially a measurement of air taking up space. The balloon does add slightly to the pressure (although the newer Mylar balloons often have less pressure). However, the space occupied by the balloon defines the space occupied by the air (or gas) inside. Helium or Hydrogen are lighter than air. They will still take up space in your balloon, but because they have a lower density than air, they cause the balloons to float. If you have a pressure chamber/vacuum chamber, you can cause the same amount of air to take up more space by lowering the outside pressure, or make it take up less space by increasing the pressure.


What happens when air heated?

It expands, taking up more space, if there is no more space, pressure in the container increases.


What does the air pressure do as you move up?

the air pressure decreases as you go up.


Additional gas is added to a soccer ball The pressure?

Will get stronger. This is because there is more air in the same amount of space so this number will go up.
