At the same time I can be low or high,
I can be found where the ground meets the sky.

I may have a bald spot on top of my head,
but pick a fight with me, and you may be dead.

Slow moving, slow growing, I eventually change,
but I'll always have friends out on the range.

What am I?

Part 2 of the series.

You are

A mountain

At the same time I can be low or high, I can be found where the ground meets the sky.

Mountains can be seen on the horizon; some of them are low (usually older mountains, which have eroded), some high (usually younger ones)

I may have a bald spot on top of my head, But pick a fight with me and you may be dead.

Snow-capped peaks are something you see on mountains high enough - these resemble a "bald spot" on the top of someone's head. But people who climb mountains—seen as a challenge or fight—could "lose the fight" often die.

Mountains change very slowly, from parts of the earth moving as well as erosion; mountains are found in "ranges", that is, a bunch of them all together.

  • $\begingroup$ @Z.Dailey The "range" bit? If so, I just added a little. Let me know if that's enough or if you need more. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Yah. You got it. And quick too. Didn't want a complaint for being too vague. But this is what happens when I make it a little easier. Next one will be hard again. $\endgroup$

You could be

the sun.

At the same time I can be low or high, I can be found where the ground meets the sky.

During the day, the sun will be at different places.

I may have a bald spot on top of my head, But pick a fight with me and you may be dead.

Do fly to close to the sun. I have trouble getting the bald spot to fit.

The sun will eventually turn into another stellar body when the hydrogen runs out (is transformed). There are several sun-like bodies in the universe, for instance Alpha Centauri.
