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
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.
What would your weight b if earths mass were to be doubled?
Your weight would be double what it is now.
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.
What is most responsible for the pressure in the earths atmosphere?
The weight.
Why is it you are able to get up from sunbathing if the weight of the atmosphere is resting on your body?
Because the weight is pressing on your entire body, from all directions at once, it doesn't press you toward the Earth. It's the same reason the weight of the water over them doesn't crush fish.
Why do your shoulders still have pressurs on them?
Its the weight of the atmosphere itself is constantly pressing on your body.
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
How much does earths atmosphere increase a person weight?
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 the main factor in determining the amount of thrust a rocket requires to leave the earths atmosphere?
Payload weight
Why does air pressure becomes lower as water molecules are added to the air?
Air pressure is the weight of the air at a specific location. On the surface of the earth, we have the entire weight of the atmosphere pressing on us in the form of air molecules like O2, N2, and CO2. As we go higher and higher into the atmosphere, there are fewer molecules and so there is less weight pressing against us.

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
What is a barometer used to measure?
the weight of the air pressing down on the earths surface is known as air pressure.this pressure is measured using a barometer
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.
