gravity helps pull down the layers of the atmosphere and the upper atmosphere is further away so its going to have less of a pull on it there for being less dense then the closest atmosphere.

hoped that helped.

The troposphere is the densest part of the atmosphere because it is the layer closest to Earth's surface, where gravity compresses the air molecules tightly together. Additionally, the troposphere is where most weather phenomena occur, leading to active mixing and circulation of air, which also contributes to its density.

Yes it does because the higher you go through the atmosphere the density decreases due to the lack of the more dense gases like oxygen. Plus the troposphere holds the weather due to the water vapor collected from from oceans and seas increasing it's density.

The troposphere is relatively dense because of the force of gravity on the gas molecules it contains. The outer layers of Earth's atmosphere are closer to the vacuum of space and have comparatively few of the gas molecules that give the troposphere its mass.

That's where air pressure gets greater as you get lower in the atmosphere. That's why airplanes can't fly enough in the upper atmosphere because there is less air molecules.

The air at the surface of Earth is densest because it has the greatest weight on air weighing down on it and compressing it.

The troposphere is the densest layer because it is the lowest layer, and is compressed by the weight of the layers above it.
