Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases. As we know, air density 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.
The correct statement would be, atmospheric pressure decreases with height.
