Why does air presses down on earth with force?
basically because it has mass and is attracted to the earth by gravity.
What is air presses down on earth wwith force?
Air that presses on the earth with force is atmospheric pressure. It is caused by changing in temperature and the natural movement of air around the Earth.
What is is the amount of air that presses on something?
pressure
When the layer of air that surrounds the Earth presses down this is ?
Air pressure
When a mass of cold air presses on the surface of the earth is called what?
It is called a cold front. Cold air mass is denser than warm air, so when it moves in and pushes existing warm air upward, it creates changes in weather conditions.
What is it called when air presses on us?
air has mass
When the layer of the air that surrounds the earth presses down this is called?
air pressure
Why air pressure from earths atmosphere is not the cause of gravity?
Gravity is an entirely separate entity which is a consequence only of the mass of the earth itself. In fact, the atmosphere presses down because gravity is pulling on it.
Can air have mass?
Yes air has mass. It is the mass of the air above a point on earth that is responsible for the air pressure.
is air pressure is low when the air presses down a lot?
no, it becomes higher when the air presses down
What causes air to press down on Earth?
All matter has mass. gravity is the attraction of objects with mass. The mass of the earth is high enough that gravity from the earth pulls the air towards itself.
What is the mass of the air in the exosphere?
The mass of air in the exosphere is very low. The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, and it contains very few air molecules. Its density is so low that the mass of air in the exosphere is considered negligible compared to the overall mass of the Earth.
