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.

∙ 11y agoThe Airplane keeps a Sealevel pressure inside the cabin in order to keep the passengers alive. Because there is very low pressure at the altitude in which the airplane flys, its inside pressure pushes against the "walls" and so makes it expand like an airballoon by 10-20 cm in diameter.

More to the point, it keep the aircraft in the air thanks to the air-flow over the wings lowering the pressure on the top of the wings, relative to that on their udnerside.

∙ 16y agoIf I remember it correctly, the top of the wings are curved making more surface area for the air to cover in the same time as the bottom of the wing. Because of this difference the top experiences less pressure causing lift. This answer could be all wrong--just thought I'd make a stab at it.

∙ 15y agoIt really depends im what context you mean.
Atmosphere: pressure in the air around us is caused by gravity constantly trying to pull the air downward, and weather conditions also affect it.
In a container: The more air you put into a restricted space, the higher the pressure will be.

∙ 11y agothere is a relationship between them because if you think of an airplane, it has a pointed top to break the air molicules and be able to fly smoothly.Air can do the same thing, if you do the cup and paper towel experiment, the cup breaks through, not getting the towel wet. That is their relationship

∙ 9y agoAir pressure affects flight since lift occurs if an object has higher pressure below it and low pressure above it. This is how the airplane wing works.

What is the relationship between the volume and pressure of a gas when temperature is held constant?
The pressure and volume are related because both are variable of indefinite which means that both are not positive or definite and they tend to vary by the object they are in.
When you drive down a mountain what makes your ears experience those uncomfortable sensations?
Your ears pop on a mountain when there's a difference in air pressure between your inner ear and the air outside. The air in your inner ear exchanges pretty slowly. And since the air is much thinner at the top of the mountain than it is near the bottom, if you go down quickly enough (like by driving) the pressures can't equalize gradually. The higher pressure air at the bottom of the mountain presses on your eardrums until they "pop" and the pressure equalizes. That can hurt!
Why doesnt air pressure crush objects?
There is air pressure on all sides, inside or outside. The air pressure pushes on the object all ways and nothing falls. If you only apply pressure on the bottom then the object will lift. If you apply pressure on the top, the object will collapse. If air pressure is pushing side ways, the object will move sideways.
A change in can bring about a change in air pressure?
if the dna sequence of a gene was tacttaccgagctagact then what kind of mutation has occured This has nothing to do with the question of air pressure. Either a change of temperature or a change of volume can affect air pressure, according to Boyle's Law of Gases. Increasing temperature=increased air pressure Decreased volume=increased air pressure The reverse is also true. Decreased temperature=decreased air pressure Increased volume=decreased air pressure
The air pressure inside the can compare to the air pressure outside the can equal lower or higher?
There is no difference of the average local air pressure inside or outside of the headphone.
What is the connections between air pressure and wind?
The relationship between air pressure and windis that air from areas of higher pressure flow to areas of lower pressure, creating wind.
What is the relationship between elevation and air pressure?
the sky
What general statement can be made about the relationship between air pressure and altitude?
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and depth?
The deeper you go, the more air is above you ... thus higher air pressure.
What is the relationship between air pressure and tornadoes?
The air pressure inside a tornado is very low. This allows the tornado to draw air inward at high speeds.
What is the relationship between the air pressure and how high above the earth you are?
the higher you are, the higher the air pressure, thats why airoplanes cant go too high, there is less oxygen and more air pressure
The relationship between air and wind?
both have high and low pressure both have high and low pressure are factors in weather
What is the relationship between the density and air pressure of air?
Scroll down to related links and look at "Density of air - Wikipedia". See there: Importance of temperature.
How is air related to flight?
You can't fly in a vacuum! Air pressure is what keeps an airplane or a bird in flight.
What is the relationship between altitude and air pressure to explain why rescue helicopters have a difficult time flying altitude above 6000 m?
An inverse relationship.
What support a bird to fly?
The difference between the air pressure on the underside of it's wings, and the air pressure on the top side of it's wings. It is called "lift" - and is the basic principle of flight of any kind.
What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure?
As air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area decreases.
