Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
The atmospheric pressure changes with altitude as the density of the air decreases and the air becomes rarer. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases. As we know, the density of air increases near the earth's surface (due to gravity). It gradually decreases as we ascend to higher altitudes, eventually leading to space, i.e. outside the earth's atmosphere.
