How does the earth's gravity hold air around the planet?
Air has mass, and gravity pulls anything with mass. The gravity of the earth "pulls" air down towards it's center.
What cause air pressure?
Gravity pulling the mass of the atmosphere toward the center of the earth. Atmosphere includes air, water vapor, etc.
What is the value of Earth's gravitational field at the center of the Earth?
In the cavity at the center of the Earth, your weight would be zero, because you would be pulled equally by gravity in all directions. - The gravitational field of Earth at its center is zero.
Where is the center of mass of earths atmosphere?
the center of the earth
What city is the center of the earth?
Which center, on the western or on the Eastern.

What did Aristotle believe?
He believed that the Earth was the center of the Solar System and that all matter was composed of earth, fire, water, and air.
Why wouldn't Aristotle's explanation of gravity work if Earth is not the center of the universe?
It wouldn't work because if the earth wasn't at the center, the water above it, air above water and fire above air then earthly things wouldn't fall downward and things like smoke and other air elements wouldn't go upward.
Why is atmosphere more dense at sea level than a mountain top?
the atmosphere isn't more dense. if the atmosphere was on the ground, we would have no air. but the reason the air is thinner in the mountains like mt. Everest and Kilimanjaro is because its further away from the earth center and the gravity has less effect on the air. the closer to the earth center the stronger gravity, the denser air.
Why is core considered the center of the Earth?
The core is considered the center of Earth because it is at Earth's geometric center.
Where is the center of mass of earth's atmosphere?
the center of the earth
Where is earth center point?
In the center of the Earth. Where did you THINK it was?
Why is the air pressure on top of Mount McKinley less than the air pressure at sea level?
Because air pressure (and water pressure) decrease the farther you get from the earth's center of gravity.
Why is core called the CENTER of the earth?
The core is in the center of the Earth.
How do you know what is in the center of earth?
The center of the earth is the inner core.
What happens to air at the center of a cyclone or center of low pressure?
What is the center of low air pressure
What cause air pressure?
Gravity pulling the mass of the atmosphere toward the center of the earth. Atmosphere includes air, water vapor, etc.
