The altitude of air in space can be measured using various instruments, such as altimeters, satellites equipped with radar or lidar, and atmospheric profiling tools like radiosondes. Altimeters measure altitude based on changes in atmospheric pressure or GPS signals. Satellites can provide data on atmospheric density and temperature, which can be used to infer altitude. Additionally, remote sensing techniques can assess the thickness of the atmosphere at different layers.

What happens to air with increased altitude?
it goes throuh space
Can we have a negative density altitude?
No, density altitude cannot be negative. Density altitude is a measure of air density relative to standard atmospheric conditions, and it is calculated by adjusting the pressure altitude for temperature and humidity. Since altitude itself cannot be less than zero, density altitude will always be a positive value, indicating how the air density compares to the standard atmosphere at a given altitude and temperature.
How does altitude affect density and air pressure?
Altitude has a large affect on the air pressure and air density. Air density reduces with altitude and air pressure reduces with altitude as well.
Why do you measure latitude and altitude?
for math
What does air pressure do when altitude increases?
Air pressure decreases with increase of height.
What happens to air with increased altitude?
it goes throuh space
Do Moon have the air or the stars?
The density of the gases in space is so low that we would not term them "air". As you increase in altitude from Sea Level the density of air gradually decreases right up until you reach space. There is no point where there is a sudden change so that someone can say that air has stopped and space has begun. Quite simply, the upper reaches of the atmosphere have been defined by picking an altitude. Below that altitude is "air"; above it is "space".
What happens to the density of air molecules as you increase in altitude?
As you increase in altitude, the density of air molecules decreases. This is because the air pressure decreases with increasing altitude, leading to a lower concentration of air molecules in a given volume of space.
Does altitude increase if air pressure increases?
The pressure drops with altitude. More quickly at first, but more gradually the higher you go. If plotted on a graph, you would get a curve.
Is the relationship between altitude and air pressure direct inverse or is there no relationship?
The relationship between altitude and air pressure is inverse: as altitude increases, air pressure decreases. This is because air pressure is a measure of the weight of air molecules above a given point, so as you go higher in the atmosphere, there are fewer air molecules above you exerting pressure downward.
How does air pressure change as altitude is increased?
As altitude increases so air pressure reduces, until the limit of our atmosphere is reached. After which the vacuum of space is entered.
Why is the air thinner as you increase your altitude?
Air is compressed (squeezed) by the air above it (due to gravity), the higher you go, the less air there is above you.
How does altitude affect density and air pressure?
Altitude has a large affect on the air pressure and air density. Air density reduces with altitude and air pressure reduces with altitude as well.
What altitude is Michel Fournier jumping from?
Michel Fournier is planning to jump from 130,000 feet - about 25 miles in the air. From that altitude, he will be able to see outer space and Earth's curvature.
What is a measure of the force of air particles pushing on other matter?
Air pressure is a measure of the force exerted by air particles pushing on other matter. It is typically measured using a barometer and is influenced by factors such as altitude, temperature, and weather conditions.
How does density of the air change with altitude?
The density of air decreases when the altitude rises.
Air at lower altitude is what compared to air at higher altitude?
the higher you are the more the density decreases
