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).

Air weight that varies over earths surface is called?

Atmospheric pressure varies over Earth's surface, mainly due to differences in temperature, altitude, and weather conditions. This variation in air pressure creates different weight of air known as atmospheric weight.


What is the effect of gravity on the weight of an object when a person is standing upright?

When a person is standing upright, gravity pulls the person and the object they are holding towards the Earth. This causes the weight of the object to increase due to the force of gravity acting on it.
