What kind of pressure does a column of air exert on the air or surface below it?

A column of air exerts atmospheric pressure on the air or surface below it. This pressure is caused by the weight of the air above pushing down on the lower air or surface.


Why is there no pressure in outer space?

There is no pressure in outer space because it is essentially a vacuum, meaning there are very few, if any, particles present to exert pressure. Without air or any other medium to press against our bodies, we do not experience pressure in the same way we do in environments with air or water.


Why doesnt pressure exert on gasses?

You have a misconception... Pressure can be definitely exerted on gas. You might have heard of air compressor? Pneumatic cylinder? these elements exert pressure on air(Gas). Free air from atmosphere is sucked inside then pressurized & used for many applications. Please go through working principles of these elements.


Why does the atmosphere exert pressure?

The atmosphere exerts pressure because of the weight of the air above pushing down on the air below. This pressure is caused by the force of gravity acting on the mass of the air molecules in the atmosphere.
