What the weight of air called?
The weight of air is called air pressure. There is no way around air pressure and it must be calculated into anything having to do with physics.
Is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth?
Yes, the weight of the air exerts pressure on the Earth's surface, creating atmospheric pressure. This pressure decreases with altitude as the air becomes less dense.
Why does earth use air pressure?
Air pressure is basically the weight of air on surfaces.
The weight of an air is known as?
air pressure
What is atomshpheric pressure.?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air.
Air pressure is due to the weight of air?
The compression of air.
Is air pressure greater when your higher up or lower?
Air pressure is greater at lower altitudes because the weight of the air above compresses the air below, leading to higher pressure. As you go higher in altitude, the air pressure decreases due to the lower weight of air above.
What is the weight of air pushing down?
the answer is air pressure
Why does Atmospheric pressure exists because air has what?
Atmospheric pressure exists because air has weight. The weight of the air above exerts a force on the air below it, resulting in pressure at the Earth's surface.
What is the force exerted by the weight of the air above is said to be?
The force exerted by the weight of the air above is called atmospheric pressure. It is the pressure exerted on Earth's surface by the weight of the air in the atmosphere above it.
How does gravity cause air pressure?
Gravity causes air pressure by pulling air molecules towards the Earth's surface. The weight of the air above creates pressure on the air below it. The higher you go, the lesser the air pressure due to less weight above pushing down.
Why does air exert pressure?
Air exerts pressure in the same way that water exerts pressure on a diver. Air has weight, and because we are at the bottom of a blanket of air that surrounds the earth, the weight of that air is pressing down on us (creating pressure). If you go under water, you'll feel the additional pressure created by the weight of the water above you.
