Making the world better, one answer at a time. Thin air is caused by low oxygen pressure at high altitudes. The lack of oxygen makes the air less dense. Thin air is caused by low oxygen pressure at high altitudes. The lack of oxygen makes the air less dense.
The answer is because temperature sets a limit to how much water vapor can be in the air. Even in tropical air, once the volume of water vapor in the atmosphere approaches 4% it will begin to condense out of the air (rain). The condensing of water vapor prevents the percentage of water vapor in the air from increasing. If temperatures were much warmer, there would be a potential to have more than 4% water vapor in the atmosphere. Think about the steam trapped in a tea kettle.
