The air pressure on Earth is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pressing down. This pressure is also known as "atmospheric pressure". Normal atmospheric pressure at the surface of the Earth is 101 kPa, 760 mm Hg, or 14.7 psig

If you were to divide the total weight of the atmosphere by the Earth's total
surface area, the quotient would be the atmospheric pressure at the surface.

When a ball is dropped it is easy to see that earth exerts a force on it Why cant you tell that the ball exerts a force on earth?
it moves
Does a compass needle exert force on the earth if the earth exerts a magnetic force on the compass?
Yes !! But its negligible.
What force does Earth exerts on a ball thrown into the air?
gravity
Does Earth exert a contact or a non-contact force on the moon?
Earth exerts a non-contact force on the moon.
When does an object not move downwards under the effect of gravity?
On every object on earth, earth exerts a force on it which is equal to the weight of object. When we throw a object it earth exerts force on it and it came downwards but if we throw it with escape velocity then it will not move downwards.
The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun exerts on the Earth?
Causes Earth's centripetal Acceleration........ WHS AOEC

Earth exerts a force on an object equal to the object's weight. the object exerts a force on Earth?
Of exactly the same magnitude but in the opposite direction.
Out of the Sun Earth the Moon and a Book which one exert the stronget gravitational force on you?
The Earth exerts the greatest gravitational force on you because it is the most massive object you are closest to. The Earth exerts a force equal to your weight. The other objects exert gravitational forces but are not very noticeable because they are either low in mass or separated from you by great distance.
What is the gravitational force that earth has?
Well.................. the gravitational force of earth exerts a force of 9.8m/s squared.
What is the gravitational force that Jupiter exerts on the sun?
the correct answer is 2.657342657x1033
What force does the earth exerts by pulling?
The fource of Gravity.
Why the earth exerts a force on falling bodies?
gravity
What exerts the most gravitational force on you?
the earth of course.
How would the gravitational force that the Moon exerts on the Earth compare with the force it exerts today if the moon were moved so that it is half as far from the earth as it is today?
increases 4 times the initial force
Does a compass needle exert force on the earth if the earth exerts a magnetic force on the compass?
Yes !! But its negligible.
Who has more gravity the moon are the earth?
The earth exerts a stronger gravitational force.
