Explanation:
The answer to your question deals with the pressure and temperature relationship of a gas. The Earth's atmosphere is thin layer of gases composed of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (19%), and other gases (~3%). As you go to higher altitudes, there are less air molecules pushing down on you (lower pressure).
