Detailed Solution

The air becomes thinner higher up due to gravitational force.
The force which attracts an object to the centre of the earth is called gravitational force. It decreases with increase in height. Gravitational force holds air around earth’s surface so, as we go higher this force decreases and air expands which makes it thinner. Pressure also decreases as air expands.
