What happens when your airplane takes off from an airstrip on the ground and rises 30000 feet into the sky what happens to the air pressure on the outside of the airplane?

Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of air above the measurement point. At 30,000 feet in the sky, the air pressure on the outside of the airplane will be much lower than it was nearer the ground.

When you are landing in an airplane does the air pressure increase or decrease?
It increases. In an unpressurized airplane, the pressure increases because the air is denser at lower altitudes. In a pressurized airplane, the pressure increases both because the pressure must be equalized before the doors can open and because the hull is not designed to withstand an outside pressure higher than the inside pressure.
Why does your ear pop when you ride an airplane?
The 'pop' you hear is the pressure equalizing between the cavity or the inner ear and the outside air pressure. The reason this happens so suddenly is because the air in your inner ear comes through a tube (called the Eustachian Tube) that is linked to your mouth.
The pressure of a fluid at a specific depth?
Hydrostatic pressure at depth h beyond liquid surface is given by the formula: p = p0 + dgh where p0; = atmospheric pressure at liquid surface usually 1 ATM or 101325 Pa (1Pa = kg/ms²) d = liquid density (water is 1.00 g/ml) g = gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth)
Why does water boil at 212 degrees in am airplane at 25000 feet?
The boiling point of water is related to the atmospheric pressure. The air pressure in the plane is not the same as outside the plane. Otherwise you couldn't breath in the plane. :)
If air has pressure why don't we explode?
We don't explode, or implode, due to air pressure because the pressure inside our bodies balances the pressure outside our bodies. This is the normal state. At sea level and standard conditions, air pressure is about 14.7 pounds per square inch. In the non-normal state, such as decreasing or increasing the outside air pressure, our bodies attempt to compensate. Within limits, this is successful, such as going up and down in an elevator or in an airplane. In extreme conditions, such as very deep water, we can implode. In the opposite case, such as in outer space, we can explode.
As an airplane flies higher in the air what happens to the atmosphere outside the plane?
It gets thinner (the pressure drops) and colder.
Is the air pressure in a flying airplane greater that outside the flying airplane?
In a commercial airliner flying at cruising altitude, the air pressure inside the airplane is considerably higher than the air pressure outside. The air pressure outside is too low for people to breathe comfortably, so the interior is pressurized.
What happens to a crisps packet on an airplane?
Bags of chips (crisps) can expand in an airplane. A bag of chips on the ground doesn't appear to be inflated because the outside air pressure is high. As the elevation increases (like in an airplane) the outside air pressure decreases, which means that there is also less pressure in the bag. As the pressure decreases in the bag, the gas inside wants to take up more room and it expands (similar to what happens when the pressure is released from a can of soda). However, the cabins of most airplanes are pressurized, so you would not be able to see any expansion.
Why does a fountain pen leak in an airplane?
there is less pressure above the ground so the ink inside it burlge outside and flow in airplane......

Why do bottles leak in an airplane?
They leak because the pressure inside the bottle is higher than the pressure outside of the bottle. That makes the contents in the bottle want to escape because it wants to equalize the pressure.
What happens when pressure is lower inside the lungs than outside the lungs?
atmospheric

Why a persons ears may pop as they go up in an airplane?
Air pressure outside the body decreases, pressure inside the ear presses out on the eardrums. The "Popping" sensation is pressure equalizing through the Eustachian tubes.
What happens during peer pressure?
You are influenced by peers to conform & do things outside your nature.
What happens if a door is open in a in the airplane?
you will get explosive decompressions (at least if the plane is flying so the cabin is pressurized) the air-pressure in the cabin is larger than outside, the air wants out. id you make a hole in the fuselage (by opening a door for example) all the air wants to escape via that hole very quickly, this can rip an airplane apart.
