Why is the atmospheric pressure higher at sea level

Answered by admin @



==================================
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ANSWER ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
==================================



*⃣*⃣*⃣ DISCUSSION - A *⃣*⃣*⃣

The atmospheric pressure is highest or maximum at sea level. The density of sea level is higher and as a result due to the high density of sea level, atmospheric pressure is maximum here.

*⃣*⃣*⃣ DISCUSSION - B *⃣*⃣*⃣

As we move up from the sea level, i.e., as the altitude increases, the density of air (also called air density) decreases and as a result, the atmospheric pressure also decreases.


*⃣*⃣*⃣ DISCUSSION - C *⃣*⃣*⃣

We can also apply our logic from the side of molecular collisions which is responsible for atmospheric pressure exertion. At higher altitudes, fewer number of gas molecules means or refers to fewer molecular collisions and thereby decreasing atmospheric pressure.
