Why do airports at higher altitudes require a longer airstrip?

the air is thinner


Is air more dense at a lower altitudes?

yes because the higher you go in altitude the air gets thinner


Why does plane not fly at low altitude Why do they usually fly at high altitude?

Better fuel economy. The air is thinner at higher altitudes.


What has air composition to do with why breathing at high altitude is difficult?

It is not so much as the composition that is important, it is that at higher altitudes there is less air. Air is about 20% oxygen, but the higher up you go in altitude, the thinner air will have less oxygen. That's what makes breathing more difficult at higher altitudes.


How does higher altitude affect golf club yardage?

As at higher altitudes the density of air decreases, which means that air is thinner. As a result golf ball travels farther at a higher altitude because of decreased drag on the ball.


What happens to density at higher altitudes?

The density of air decreases at higher altitudes.


Why ice melts slowly at higher altitudes?

because there is low pressure at higher altitudes


How can people in good shape have trouble breathing at high altitudes?

There is less oxygen in the air at higher altitudes. The atmosphere is held in place by the force of gravity, and it is thicker at the bottom, and gradually becomes thinner the higher you go. If you get high enough, the air runs out completely and you are then in outer space. Better wear your spacesuit!


Why do aeroplane fly at flight level?

The higher you go the thinner the air is, and less resistance is offered by it. Thus, airplanes fly at high altitudes because the fuel consumption is lower.


Why is the bottom of the mountain hotter than the top?

At higher altitudes, the air becomes thinner. Since there are fewer molecules, the air has a lower total kinetic energy, which means the temperature is lower.


Why do athletes who live at sea level and then compete at higher altitudes often don't perform as well as those who permanently live at high altitudes?

The simple answer is oxygen starvation. The best athletes train at the higher altitudes because that is where the air is thinner. This forces the human body to work harder, just to expend equivalent energy. People that climb Mt. Everest often suffer from 'altitude sickness' due their lack of conditioning.


Why will a car not accelerate as quickly in the mountains?

This is mainly because the air/fuel mixture is not set for the higher altitudes. The lower atmospheric pressure at higher elevations means the engine will operate leaner then the ideal air/fuel mixture. If you set a vehicle to operate at only high altitudes then it would run to rich and have less power once you left the mountains. This overly lean condition is also why an engine will overheat more easily at high altitudes. The thinner amount of oxygen of higher altitudes also has a very minor role in having less power.
