Explain how pressure, temperature and density of atmosphere changes with height or position.

Open in App

Solution

The density of atmosphere varies with height. It is maximum at the sea level and decreasing while going up. The temperature also decreases with increase in height.
The atmosphere exerts pressure on the Earth. The atmospheric pressure changes from place to place. Some places may have high pressure while some have low pressure.
