Best Answer

At the top, marginally less.

F = G(m1m2)/r2

F = force of gravity

G = the gravitational constant

m1 and m2= the masses of the earth and the moutain

r2 = the radius between the centers; earth's center and the centered on the tip of Everest.

So, as the tip of Everest is 29,000 feet obove the surface, and this is added to the radius involved, the radial distance is somewhat increased and the gravitational force is somewhat lessened.

Why does air pressure drop as you move away from the earths surface?

In simple terms... gravity ! Gravity is holding the air close to the surface of the Earth. The further away you are from the surface - the lower the gravity - and thus the lower the air pressure.
