Yes it does, Gravity has an effect on anything with mass!

even a single attom. air even though it is invisible doesnt mean that there is nothing there you are moving around atoms of O2 and CO2

No… Gravity is the natural forces of attraction objects of mass have for each other.


In outer space (where there is no air) gravitational pull is lessened because objects are too far away form a gravity source for it to have effect on them. One rule of gravity is that two differently weighted objects, dropped at the same time, in a vacuum, will hit the ground at the same time. Scientists have proven this, by placing heavy and light objects in a vacuum chamber, taking out all of the air, and then dropping them. They found that a feather will fall at the same rate as 100 lbs of lead, because there is no air resistance to slow the objects down.

I believe the answer is YES! Answer:

It is fairly common knowledge that the air is denser (thicker) nearer the ground than higher in the sky. This is due to the effect of gravity on the air molecules (nitrogen, oxygen and argon). The closer anything is to the center of the mass attracting it, the stronger the gravitational attraction. If air was not attracted by gravity it would have dissipated into space long ago.

Answer:

Also, atmosphere is created by this gravitational attraction as mentioned earlier about the decreasing density has we increase height about the ground.

Gravity affects all matter, including gases. When gravity affects a gas, it reacts differently depending on its temperature. When air heats, it rises, when it cools, it sinks.

yes , because if there was no gravity on earth all the rubbish and dirt would be floating around

No, air is not gravity. Gravity is gravity, and air is air. You can have air without gravity, and you can have gravity without air. On Earth's surface we have both air and gravity.

How does air effect gravity?

Air has no effect on gravity. But the presence of air can change the response of an object to the force of gravity alone.


Does air pressure affect gravity?

Gravity is a function of mass and distance. So, no air pressure does not affect gravity.


Doea gravity affect the air that we breath in?

Yes. Without gravity, we would have NO air to breathe.


How does the earth's gravity hold air around the planet?

Air has mass, and gravity pulls anything with mass. The gravity of the earth "pulls" air down towards it's center.


Does gravity affect the air we breathe?

Yes, gravity affects the air that we breathe. That is why it is harder to breathe when we go up high mountains. There is less air there. Without gravity, the air would float off into space, just as we would.


What force is stronger gravity or air resistance?

Gravity is stronger. If gravity was not stronger air would make us float away. Air is trying to make things go up and gravity is making things go down.


Why does Air stay within the Atmosphere - solid and liquid are pulled by gravity BUT i don't agree Air is pulled by gravity?

First of all, the atmosphere is the air. Secondly, air is matter, all matter is affected by gravity. Imagine this: the sea is liquid, it lies on the earth, pulled by gravity. the atmosphere is also like this except it is a "sea" of air, it lies on the earth, pulled by gravity.


Is it the air pressure that keeps us on the ground or is it gravity?

It is gravity.


How gravity can have air friction?

It does not.


What is reverse gravity?

Air


How does gravity affect the earths sky?

The sky is air and gravity keeps the air close to the ground so we can breeth it in .


How is gravity used in gymnastics?

Gravity is not "used". In gymnastics, gymnasts almost defy-gravity by flipping in the air but have no control of what gravity does.
