If altitude decreases what does density do?

As altitude decreases, air density increases. This is because air molecules are more compressed closer to the Earth's surface, resulting in higher density at lower altitudes.


What is the pressure in high altitude region?

The pressure in high altitude regions is lower than at sea level because there is less atmosphere above pushing down on the surface. This decrease in pressure can result in lower oxygen levels and make it more challenging for some people to breathe.


Does a satellite in low tilt at low altitude show more of the earths surface than one in high tilt at same altitude?

Yes, a satellite in a low tilt at a low altitude will cover more of the Earth's surface due to its proximity and angle of view compared to a satellite in a high tilt at the same altitude. The lower tilt allows for a larger field of view, capturing more of the Earth's surface in a single orbit.


Is the temperature cooler in low altitude or higher altitude?

Typically, the temperature is cooler at higher altitudes because the air is less dense and there is less pressure. This results in a decrease in temperature with increasing altitude due to adiabatic cooling as the air rises and expands.


Does blood thin when you increase in altitude?

No, blood does not physically thin when you increase in altitude. However, the lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes can lead to the production of more red blood cells to compensate for the decreased oxygen availability. This can make the blood more concentrated, but it does not physically "thin" it.

Air at lower altitude is what compared to air at higher altitude?

the higher you are the more the density decreases


What is another factor that can cause water to evaporate more quickly beside the heat?

Altitude, the higher the altitude the lower the pressure. Water evaporates more quickly at low pressures


Do you find more oxygen in lower altitude?

yes because the air is more dense at lower altitudes


What happens to air pressure when the altitude goes up?

When the altitude increases, the air pressure decreases (or "GOES DOWN") and vice versa. This is due to the fact that air is affected by gravity, therefore there is more of it at a lower altitude than at a higher altitude.


Why does it snow more in mountaintops then in lower altitudes?

It is cold at very high elevations. Most rain originates as snow at high elevation, which then melts before reaching the ground.


It take more time to cool potatoes on mountaintops because?

atmospheric pressure is low


Will a parachute slow a sky diver more at a very high altitude or at a lower altitude?

Parachutes work best in a dense medium. Since air density decreases with altitude, the closer you are to the surface the better a parachute will work. You still have to give it time to deploy to work, though.


If altitude decreases what does density do?

As altitude decreases, air density increases. This is because air molecules are more compressed closer to the Earth's surface, resulting in higher density at lower altitudes.


How does altitude effect natural gas?

The higher the altitude, the lower the pressure of the natural gas, and the more it will expand in volume. It will expand in direct proportion to how much the pressure goes down, and vice versa.


Cruise altitude is decided by what factors?

Usually Max Range and fuel consumption. If it is a short trip, the cruise altitude may be limited. Cruise altitude is determined by a number of factors, among which are winds, weather, length of flight, fuel economy, etc. Generally speaking, the higher a jet can fly, the more it will save in fuel. However, on shorter legs, an aircraft may not be able to reach the most economical operating altitude. Then, too, winds and weather can be major factors in selecting a lower than optimum cruise altitude.


Is the vapor pressure of water lower at higher altitude?

Yes, the vapor pressure of water is lower at higher altitudes due to the reduced atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, the fewer molecules in the air exert less pressure on the water's surface, causing it to evaporate more slowly.


What is the pressure in high altitude region?

The pressure in high altitude regions is lower than at sea level because there is less atmosphere above pushing down on the surface. This decrease in pressure can result in lower oxygen levels and make it more challenging for some people to breathe.
