Oxygen in the Atmosphere

We humans need oxygen to breathe.

At sea-level (or ground level, if you don't happen to live on a boat) there is lots of oxygen. Up high, where jet planes fly, there is not much. That's one reason that jets can go so fast.

So how can I breathe then, smarty pants?

is low at altitude
