Is pressure in a balloon less than atmospheric pressure?

No, the pressure of the balloon is more than the atmospheric pressure because the gasses in the balloon are compressed by the stretched material.


Why if your standing up the air pressure on you toes is slightly less than the air pressure on your nose?

I think you might have that question slightly turned around. The pressure on your nose is less than on your toes. Air pressure comes from the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on you. The higher something is, the less air there is above it, and the less pressure there is. Because your toes are lower than your nose, there is more air above it pressing down.


Does air pressure affect water pressure?

Water Vapor affects pressure because moist air contains many heavy gases such as O2,N2 etc. But less water vapor. Since these gases are heavier than water vapor, it becomes more dense constituting more pressure. So Moist air contains less pressure than Dry Air.


Do photons of blue light have more or less energy than photons of red light?

Photons of Blue light have more energy than photons of red light. Ultraviolet have even more, x rays yet more, gamma rays still more, and some cosmic rays still a lot more. Infrared have less, and radio waves have less, and other waves have even less.


Does natural gas weigh more or less than air?

It weighs less than air. Density of air is 1.2 kg/m3, density of methane is 0.72 kg/m3 (at standard temperature and pressure). Natural gas is mostly methane but does contain small amounts of heavier hydrocarbons, ethane, propane, and butane, but the mean density is still less than that of air.

Is there more or less pressure under the wing of an airplane?

There is more pressure under the wing than is on top of the wing. This is what generates the lift for flight.


Is it true that there is no air inside a tornado?

No. Although pressure inside a tornado is lower than normal, it is still closer to normal pressure than it is to a vaccum. In most cases the pressure drop in a tornado is less than 10%.

Reflex angle But it's more than 180 but less than 360 270 is still a reflex angle


Why is a ping pong ball pulled toward running water?

Running water moves the air next to it. Moving air has less pressure than air that is still. This is the Bernoulli principle, and helps airplanes to fly. With less pressure on one side from moving air, and more pressure on the other side from still air, the ping-pong ball moves towards the water.
