Because there is gravity, that pulls stuff to the core.

How much pressure is a human under on earth?

A human is under an average pressure of about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) at sea level on Earth due to the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on them. This pressure decreases at higher altitudes and increases underwater.


What layer is the atmosphere pressure highest?

The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.


What would earth's atmospheric pressure be if earth's atmosphere contained twice as many molecules as is does today?

If Earth's atmosphere contained twice as many molecules as it does today, the atmospheric pressure would also double. This is because pressure is directly related to the number of gas molecules in the atmosphere.


What is the preasure on Venus?

The atmospheric pressure on Venus is about 92 times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure, equivalent to being about 900 meters underwater on Earth. The high pressure on Venus is due to the thick layer of carbon dioxide and other gases in its atmosphere.


Why would Saturn be hotter than earth if earth is closer to the sun?

Saturn is so much larger than Earth that it's atmosphere is under enough pressure to create a higher surface temperature.


How thick is the martian atmosphere?

Much thicker, almost certainly at least as thick as the diameter of the earth. Its pressure is much higher as well due to the high mass of the planet and its atmosphere and the strong gravity.


Does Mars have Air pressure?

Yes, it has an atmosphere so it has air pressure.


What layer is the pressure the highest?

The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.


Does earth have as thick an atmosphere as Venus?

No, Earth's atmosphere is not as thick as Venus'. Venus has an atmosphere that is composed mainly of carbon dioxide, with a pressure about 92 times greater than Earth's atmosphere. This makes Venus' atmosphere much thicker and denser than Earth's.


What is the difference between earths atmosphere and Venus?

Venusian atmospheric pressure is much greater than that of earth--IIRC about 90 bar of pressure vs only 1 for earth. (but on both density and pressure decline with increasing altitude.) 2. The venusian atmosphere is largely formed of CO, unlike that of earth. (but both have this gas) 3. The venusian atmosphere is much hotter than ours. (but both are warmed by the sun.) 4. The essential difference--the venusian atmosphere is not under biological control like ours is.


How does the atmosphere change the earth?

Barometric pressure,humidity,and temperature.


How much air mass needed to raise Mars' atmosphere to Earth's atmospheric pressure?

It would need around 4x1018 kg of air to raise Mars' atmosphere to earth's atmospheric pressure. The answer is formulated under general pressure-depth relation assuming ratio of atmosphere depth is very small to the planet's diameter. P = m.g/A P = pressure = 101300 Pascal at earth's sea level m = mass of air [=] kg g = Mars gravity = 3.7 m/s2 A = surface area of Mars [=] m2
