The amounts of oxygen in the air gets thinner as you go higher up in the sky. If you keep going up into the sky, eventually, there will be no oxygen. Thats why astronauts have to wear their suits when they walk in space.

In higher then sea level elevations, is air "thinner", accurately.

I used to fly a hangglider a few years ago. On a hot day at 10K to 11K feet, it gets very cold. I was told that another thousand feet or two, my brain will start to get disoriented due to thinner air.

Yes, less atmospheric pressure=less air

Yep, that's why they need breathing apparatus on top of Mount Everest and why if the cabin pressure in an airplane depressurizes at high altitude you will die.

Yes, because there is less air pressure due to gravity.
