As you get closer to the Earth the air pressure decreases or increases?
in order to make things clear, I would like to explain how is the pressure measured and what does it mean... pressure is the force (weight) exerted by an object on a specific area. and by this we can define the atmospheric pressure as the weight of the column of air ,that extends from earth to the exosphere; the upper limit of our atmosphere, divided by the area. now by increasing the length of that column (and consequently increase the weight) we increase the pressure,and the same thing can be applied when decreasing the length.
How do you define weathering?
the climate of the earths atmosphere bepending on matter and airclimate is the atmospheric conditions over a large area and a long perios of timefor example humid is type of climate^_^
Define temperature glide as it pertains to refrigerant blend?
The temperature glide occurs when the refrigerant "blend" has "various" temperatures as it evaporates and condenses at a single given pressure.
What is the scale used to define sound intensities?
Take a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter). Try to measure the sound pressure p in pascals or in decibels, referred to the threshold of hearing with 20 micropascals.
How do you define soil?
define soil crusting
Define thin atmosphere relating to mercury?
It is so thin that the atmospheric pressure is one half of a millionth of the earth's atmospheric pressure.
What is the relation between pressure in atmosphere and pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure. When we define the pressure in scientific way of absolute pressure, we need to add up an atmospheric pressure to the measured pressure.
Are there any layers in Mars' atmosphere?
Human exploration and study of Mars has not been detailed enough to result in the assignment of atmospheric layers. Since the atmospheric pressure a the surface of mars in only about 0.6% or Earth's mean sea-lever pressure, it is unlikely that a need to assign or define level will arise.
Define compressed natural gas?
Compressed natural gas is natural gas under pressure which remains clear, odorless, and non-corrosive. This is when natural gas is compressed to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure.
How can I define boiling point scientifically?
Boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. In other words, it is the minimum temperature at which a matter which is in the liquid state gets converted to a matter in the gaseous or vapour state.
What isobar can measure?
Isobars are lines of equal atmospheric pressure.

Why is the word surface not used in the statistics for the gas giant's?
Because the gas giants don't have a solid surface, so it's hard to define a proper "surface" where the "atmosphere" ends and the real "planet" begins. Instead the "surface" of a gas giant is generally defined as the point where the pressure of the gas is equal to the atmospheric pressure at Earth's surface.
Define the 5 physiological factors that control blood pressure?
5 physiological factors that control blood pressure
Why will water boil at 96 Celsius?
it may be because of decrease in pressure.it can also be due to many other factors we define the boiling point as the temperature in which the molecules of the liquid leaves the surface and its pressure equals the atmospheric pressure so if we reduce pressure we can reduce boiling point
How do you define Charles's law?
At fixed pressure, the temperature is directly proportional to the volume
What is the study of the air that surrounds your planet?
The general term is `Atmospheric sciences`. Under there are several more specific areas of science. Meteorology - for atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric physics with a major focus on weather forecasting. Climatology - the study of atmospheric changes over long and short-term periods that define average climates and their change over time. Aeronomy - the study of the upper layers of the atmosphere. Sometimes the term `aerology` is used to describe the study of the earths atmosphere.
