There is indeed a relationship between gravity and atmospheric pressure. Gravity attracts matter with mass, in this case gas. The atmosphere being a layer of gas, the stronger the gravity, the higher it's pressure. I
if you seal gas in a tank, and increase its mass (by adding more gas) the pressure will increase. Now imagine that the tank is the earth, and gravity is exerting a down force on the gas... It's like water. Although it can't be compressed, water exerts pressure because of gravity; the deeper you go the higher the pressure. Now imagine the atmosphere pressure on Jupiter....

Is density the same thing as specific gravity?
Almost, but not quite. 'Specific gravity' is the density of a substancecompared to water.Numerically . . .Specific gravity of a substance = Density of the substance/Density of water.
What is the relation between API gravity and specific gravity?
API gravity is inversally proportional to the specific gravity. so if the value of spcific gravity for some material is higher , it means that the API gravity of the same material will be lower.
Is specific gravity the same as density?
More or less. Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to the density of water - so the units may vary.
Are specific gravity and density the same thing?
They aren't the same thing, but they can give you the same information. Specific gravity is a substance's mass density divided by the mass density of water. Specific gravity is a sort of normalized mass density. Materials with S.G. higher than one will sink in water. S.G. lower than one will float.
What is the specific gravity of cement?
Specific gravity of cement is 3.15.The specific gravity of cement is 3.15The specific gravity can be found out by using the bottle method.For finding specific gravity of cement kerosene is used.
Specific gravity of natural gas?
specific gravity for common natural gas : 0.55 to 0.7 Specific gravity is unitless and is give the density of the gas divided by the density of air at 20C and 1bar.
What is the specific gravity copper of a giraffe?
The same as the specific gravity for copper which is 8930. It doesn't matter what shape the copper is made into... it still has the same specific gravity.
Which gases weigh less than air?
Appended is a list of gases with their specific gravities. The specific gravity of a gas is a comparison of its density with that of air at the same temperature and pressure. Gases with a Specific Gravity (SG) less than1 are lighter than air.
Is any relation between cement density Specific Gravity?
specific gravity of any substance can be find out only when it will be in liquid or gas medium.Because specific gravity of any liquid equals to ratio of density of that liquid to the density of water and specific gravity of any gas is the ratio of density of that gas to the density of air. cement is solid material(powder form) and so can not be graded on the basis of specific gravity in all conditions.

What will be the effect on specific gravity of cement if some of the sample is lost after weighing?
There is no effect on the specific gravity if some of the sample is removed. The amount of mass will change, but it will still have the same specific gravity. It is basically a density. The specific gravity of 1lb of cement is the same as the specific gravity of 100lbs of cement, you just have more cement.
Hi I Know the specific gravity of a gas at NPT How can you calculate the specific gravity of tha gas at 400 bar pressure and ambient temperature?
Is this a school question that you simply don't know the answer to?
Why is the specific gravity of mercury on the moon not the same as its specific gravity on earth?
The gravity at the surface of Mercury is less than the gravity at the surface of the Earth because Mercury has less mass than Earth does.
What is the specific gravity of gasoline in a gaseous state?
Specific gravity, (similar to density) has no meaning for a gas, since the density varies with pressure and temperature.
Is density the same thing as specific gravity?
Almost, but not quite. 'Specific gravity' is the density of a substancecompared to water.Numerically . . .Specific gravity of a substance = Density of the substance/Density of water.
What is specific gravity and its unit?
Specific gravity is the density of a substance, divided by the density of water. Since two units of the same type are divided, specific gravity is dimensionless (i.e., no unit).
What is the relation between API gravity and specific gravity?
API gravity is inversally proportional to the specific gravity. so if the value of spcific gravity for some material is higher , it means that the API gravity of the same material will be lower.
What is halite's density?
2.17 the same as its specific gravity
