lower. the air pressure is lower the higher up you go (think about all of the air above you pressing down on you - the higher up you go, the less air there is above you), so the molecules can space themselves out more.

What is difference between altitude and density altitude?

"Density altitude is the altitude in the International Standard Atmosphere at which the air density would be equal to the actual air density at the place ofobservation". See the related link.Atmospheric density corresponds to the distance from earth's gravitationalcenter, whereas altitude refers to the vertical distance from a set point on earth's surface.Worth noting is the fact that temperature and humidity are factors in air density, and must be adjusted for to give an accurate density altitude.


What is the Relationship between relative density and density?

the relation between relative density and density is that relative density of a substance is its density itself without its unit.


What is density altitude?

Density Altitude is the altitude relative to the standard atmosphere conditions (ISA) at which the air density will be equal to the indicated at the place of observation.


How does density of the air change with altitude?

The density of air decreases when the altitude rises.


How does substance's density affect its boiling point?

A relation between the boiling point and density doesn't exist.


Does the density of the air increase as altitude increases?

The density of air decreases with increasing altitude.


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.


How does altitude affect the density and pressure of air?

Altitude affects density and pressure by decreasing when it increases.


How is density and altitude related?

They are relted because as the altitude increases than the density will alwways decrease.


What is the effect of the density of liquid on the rate of diffusion?

The increase in density will decrease the rate of diffusion. There is an inverse relation between density and rate of diffusion.


What is the relation between the altitude compared to sea level and the boiling point of water?

In general, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure, and the lower the pressure the lower the boiling point.


What effect does the altitude of the atmosphere have on its density?

Simply put, the higher the altitude, the lower the density of the air molecules.
