since there is less gravity when you go higher in the atmosphere, there is less air being pulled down and causes the reduce of air pressure.

How does air pressure change as altitude change?
Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.
As altitude increases how does air pressure change?
Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.
How does air pressure change as altitude is increased?
As altitude increases so air pressure reduces, until the limit of our atmosphere is reached. After which the vacuum of space is entered.
What happens to air pressure's rate of change as altitude increases?
The rate of change of air pressure as a function of increasing altitude decreases with increasing altitude.
Does air pressure and temperature change with altitude?
Yes; the pressure and temperature decreases with higher altitude.
How does air pressure change in the atmosphere as the altitude change?
By farting
Does air pressure change with altitude?
The higher up you are the lesser the air pressure in the atmosphere.
Can air pressure falls drastically at high altitude?
Air pressure falls of as one gains altitude. At high altitude the air pressure is very low but it does not "falls drastically", which implies a sudden change.
How does air pressure change with altitude in the atmosphere?
air grows thinner so it gives less pressure on the earth's surface
What could cause a change in air pressure?
Altitude
Why does the air pressure change the altitude in the atmosphere?
As the amount of air above us decreases...the air pressure decreases.
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.
