How does gravitational pull affect the atmospheric pressure?

Answer 1

Atmospheric pressure contributes to the term called gravity. Iam not an actual believer of earth having a magnet inside and attracting everything towards it. But its the heavier atmospheric pressure acting like a blanket over the earth and pushes everything down. There is actually a particle that is emitted during bigbang called as graviton that creates gravitational field in the planets. If my belief is right, the stars still emits gravitons on the planets which are in their field. If that is the case then the nearest star for earth called sun, is the reason for all the field theories and the atmosphere on earth which eventually made the illumination of planet earth pulling everything down.

so the gravity of the planet is proportional to the mass of the planet and the intensity of radiation emitted by its nearest star and is inversly proportional to the distance between the planet and the star nearest to it. Gp(Gravity of the planet)= Mp(Mass of the planet) * Irs(Intensity of the radiation of nearest star )/ Dps(distance between planet and star).

Answer 2

Gravity keeps the atmosphere close to Earth in the first place. Also, the gravitational pull on the upper layers of the atmosphere pull it down, resulting in more pressure in the lower layers.

Answer 3

No. It is based on the Mass of the Earth,the distance from the core of the Earth and the density of the rock beneath the observer.

Answer 4

No... gravity is the pull of earth which does not cause pressure.. while pressure is the for per unit area..

Answer 5

Gravity is the force of attraction between all objects with mass. Atmospheric pressure is the force with which that air presses down.
