He The formation of the atmosphere was unknown until Pascal prove.proved that air pressure decreases as we go higher above sea level Later on it was discovered that air in the lower layers of the atmosphere is denser. About 50 20,000 feet above sea % of the air mass is located between the surface of the earth and.level, and 90% is located between the surface of the earth and 50,000 feet above sea level Therefore, density decreases vertically until air reaches its utmost rarefaction (minimum .efore it completely vanishes in outer spacepressure) in the higher layers of the atmosphere b When a human being goes higher than ten thousand (10,000) feet above sea level, it does not cause him any serious problem, as the respiratory system can handle the height of l; however, if a person goes into outer space, the 10,000 to 25,000 feet above sea leveamount of pressure and oxygen decrease causing the closing of the chest and dyspnea (shortness of breath).
