How does gravity affect condensation?

Well, if you increase the pressure of the atmosphere, isothermally, around water high enough, then you will overcome the 'vapour pressure' of the water, or the pressure of the water's surface back on the atmosphere to put is very, very simply. SOOOO, if you increase gravity, then you increase atmospheric pressure, which will condense any water vapour in the air. You can decrease gravity to see that the vapour pressure of the newly condensed liquid water will overcome the atmospheric pressure and vaporize. Keep in mind this works in standard conditions, not at extreme temperatures and pressures.


How do you increase water pressure from a gravity tank by increasing pipe sizes?

you cannot increase the pressure from a gravity tank by changing the pipe size, only the volume of water that will flow in a given period of time. The only way to increase the pressure is to increase the difference between the elevation of the tank and the elevation of the spigot. Many people will confuse an increase in water volume with an increase in water pressure, because, in both cases, more water will flow in a given period of time. ...moreincreasing the pipe size can reduce elevation loss due to friction which can translate in lay mans terms as an "increase in pressure"


Which factors affect water potential in living cells?

Some factors which influence water potential include gravity, pressure, and solute concentration. Adding solute lowers the water potential. An increase of pressure will increase the water potential.


Is gas gravity the same as specific gravity?

There is indeed a relationship between gravity and atmospheric pressure. Gravity attracts matter with mass, in this case gas. The atmosphere being a layer of gas, the stronger the gravity, the higher it's pressure. I if you seal gas in a tank, and increase its mass (by adding more gas) the pressure will increase. Now imagine that the tank is the earth, and gravity is exerting a down force on the gas... It's like water. Although it can't be compressed, water exerts pressure because of gravity; the deeper you go the higher the pressure. Now imagine the atmosphere pressure on Jupiter....


How does specific gravity effect head pressure?

Head pressure=specific gravity*1000*gravity*height. Therefore if specific gravity is increased head pressure will increase.


Why does pressure increase under the sea?

Pressure increases because as you go further down, more water is above you being pulled down by gravity.


Why should water reservoir be built higher than the roof?

So that you will have water pressure from gravity.


Gravity also makes water move. What makes water move?

Air pressure or water pressure makes water move.


What happens as gravity increase the pressure on the matter within a star?

The Rate of Fusion Increases


What happens to water pressure as you increase depth?

as water depth increases then so does the water pressure


How does gravity affect the oceans?

Gravity will tend to pull the water down the "hill" or pile of water against the pressure gradient.


What moves water besides currents and electric charge?

gravity, water pressure, air pressure, buckets, etc.
