Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
The force with which air pushes on the earth's surface is called?
The measure of force with which air molecules are pushing on earths surface is called air pressure. At sea level, at what we call standard atmospheric pressure, the pressure is about 14.696 PSI, or about 29.92 inHg, or about 760 mmHg. This is 101.324
Why sound wave cannot move from the earth to the moon?
Sound is made when the air vibrates. When someone speaks for example, the air vibrates, and then your ears pick this vibration up as sound. Because their is no air between the Earth and the Moon, sound can not travel, because no air is there to vibrate. Also, sound levels decrease as they go farther away from whoever sent them. Since the Moon is about 238,855 miles from Earth, sound gets so decreased you can't hear it.
Why is air pressure strongest at Earth's surface?
Air, like water, finds its own level, so high up theres less of a column of air (and therefore less weight) above your head, resulting in lower pressure
Why is it that stars twinkle for earth but not from the moon?
This is because the Earth's atmosphere has many layers which causes the rays of light coming from the stars to refract. This gives the effect that stars twinkle. The air around the moon does not have layers so the rays from the stars do not refract, and thus do not twinkle.
How does the air pressure at the surface of the earth compare to the air pressure at about 7 miles above earth?
The greater the altitude, the lower the air prassure.
How does the air pressure on mars compare with earth?
earths average air pressure is 1013mb where as mars average air pressure is 7mb
What is the air on the moon?
No, there isn't any air resistance on the moon
Are there air and water on both the moon and earth?
There is water on the moon but no atmosphere. The earth has water and air.
Compare how pressure and temperature change with depth inside earth?
when you go up in the air the more pressure you feel it is the same when you go deeper under water
Why is their no pressure on the moon?
Because there is no air there.
What is the air pressure of the moon?
I would imagine it drops, because there is less gravity.
When the air pressure in the lungs is greater than the air pressure outside the body you?
at higher altitudes the pressure of air is greater in our lungs as compare to the air pressure outside the body
Earth and moon have no atmosphere?
Just the Moon. We have air.
How do air pressure relates to earth?
What in the community relates to air pressure?
What are the dangers of walking on the moon?
Air pressure
Why does earth use air pressure?
Air pressure is basically the weight of air on surfaces.
