Earth's atmosphere actually decreases you weight, due to the minute effects of buoyancy with the air. Even though there are tons and tons of atmosphere on us, the preasure is balanced by the internal pressure within our bodies, just like with fish in deep water that have tons and tons of water pressing in on them.
The average different that the air has on us is about 40-55 grams (or .09 - .12 lbs).

What is most responsible for the pressure in the earths atmosphere?
The weight.
Air weight that varies over earths surface is called?
atmosphere
What is the factor in determining the amount of thrust a rocket requires to leave the earths atmosphere?
Payload weight
What is the main factor in determining the amount of thrust a rocket requires to leave the earths atmosphere?
Payload weight
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
No, your weight is just the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity,
Does the density of the earth's atmosphere increase with altitude?
The atmosphere becomes less dense with altitude. Atmosphere, thin though it is, has weight, and it is the weight of the air above which compresses the air below it, to greater density.
Why doesn't a closed paper bag collapse under weight of earths atmosphere?
There is air pressure in that bag too
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
Would Venus weigh more with the heat and gas in the atmosphere?
The heat would make no difference, but the atmosphere would increase the weight.
Does a person weight increase or decrease if they were to weight themselves on the moon?
It decreases
Why doesn't a closed air bag collapse under the weight of earths atmosphere?
The pressure inside the bag is the same as the pressure outside.
As you get farther away from the center of the earth your weight will increase or decrease?
It will decrease not by much though it is not noticeable compared to the earths radius
