From the top of a mountain, you can see a large portion of the sky, including the horizon and the space above it.
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, so at the top of a mountain, the air pressure is lower compared to the bottom of the mountain. This is because there is less air above pushing down on the air below at higher altitudes.
The air at the top of the mountain is going to be much less dense than the air at the bottom of the mountain because it is affected less by gravity.
The man on the top of a mountain would have potential energy due to his elevated position. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy if the man moves down the mountain.
kinetic energy
The boulder at the top of a mountain has potential energy due to its position relative to the ground below. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the boulder starts to roll down the mountain.

Romeo says. "Night's candles are burnt out and jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain top." It's morning, but Shakespeare has Romeo say it in a much cooler way.

They thought the beast was the thing that fell from the sky referring to the parachutist who was dead when landed on the top of the mountain.
