The air pressure at the top of Mount Everest is low pressure. At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.

How much oxegeon is on top of mount Everest?

The atmospheric pressure at the top of Mount Everest is about a third of sea level pressure or 0.333 standard atmospheres (337 mbar), resulting in the availability of only about a third as much oxygen to breathe.


What percent of sea level air pressure is at the top of Mount Everest?

At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.


What is the air pressure (in millibars) at the top of Mt. Everest?

At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.


Why can't you have a cup of tea on the top of mount Everest?

Because of the air pressure being low


What cause the temperature of the boiling point at the top of mount Everest different from the boiling point of pure water?

Pressure is much lower at the top of Mount Everest. PV=nRT. If pressure, P, goes down, then T, temperature, goes down. More temperature must be added.


At which altitude is air pressure lowest?

The air pressure is lowest at the highest altitudes, such as at the top of Mount Everest or in the upper layers of the atmosphere. This is because as altitude increases, there are fewer air molecules above exerting pressure downward.

What temperature Fahrenheit does water boil at the top to mt Everest?

The boiling point of water is 100 °C (212 °F) at standard pressure. On top of Mount Everest, at 8,848 m elevation, the pressure is about 260 mbar (26.39 kPa) and the boiling point of water is 69 °C. (156.2 °F).


How many days will there be no O2 if you climb mt Everest?

None, there is air at the top of Everest and that air has just as much O2 in percentage terms (20%) as the air at sea level. The problem is that the pressure of the air at the top of Everest is much much less (4.89 psi) than the pressure of the air at sea level (15.48 psi). This means that in each breath you take there is less O2 in comparison to a lung full of air breathed in at sea level, you will need to take 3 breaths on the top of Everest to get as much O2 as one breath at sea level,
