What measures the atmosphere?
The atmosphere has numerous measurable properties, including pressure, temperature, humidity, velocity. Each of these is measured by a different instrument. Pressure is measured by a barometer, temperature is measured by a thermometer, etc.That would be a barometer. I assume you are referring to atmospheric pressure.
What is use to measure atmosphere pressure?
Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is taken as 1 atmosphere for all intensive purposes. Atmospheric pressure near to the surface of the earth is about 1 atm. If we go above it decreases and increases we move towards the center of the earth.
When the height of the mercury in a barometer is 29.92 inches the barometric pressure is?
The standard sea level pressure of Earth's atmosphere - a pressure of 1 Bar or one "atmosphere".
Uses of barometer?
A barometer is an instrument used to measure the atmospheric pressure. It does so by comparing the atmospheric pressure with a predefined standard pressure.
What is the measurement of atomspheric pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is measured in "Standard Atmosphere" (atm). 1 atm is equivalent to the 101.325kPa (Kilo Pascals) On average is of the weight of a column of air, one square centimeter, measured from sea level to to the top of the atmosphere.
Why is an altimeter important to an airplane pilot?
The altimeter is essentially an aneroid barometer that reads in units of altitude rather than pressure. This is possible by using the standard atmosphere to make the conversion from pressure to altitude.
What does ATM in chemistry stand for?
ATM stands for atmosphere, such as in atmospheric pressure.
Why air pressure is a really useful thing to measure?
I believe air pressure is measured in PSI ( pound per square inch) by using a barometer
What is air pressure at Denver Colorado?
Air pressure is measured in different ways. Two common ones are PSI (pounds per square inch) or a barometer which measures in column inches of mercury. As we know the barometer goes up and down with weather so the air pressure goes up and down. The highest barometer reading ever recorded is about 32 inches or just over 15.6 PSI. The lowest barometer reading ever recorded was 25.69 in the middle of a hurricane so this is not typical but equates to about 12.5 PSI. These are all sea level readings. So we need an average, or normal. The standard is a barometer of 29.92 which equates to about 14.7 PSI, again being a sea level reading. With that standard the pressure at Denver is 12.1 PSI or a barometer of about 24.63. At this pressure water boils at about 202F instead of 212F.
How does air put pressure on us?
The amount of pressure the atmosphere has varies from location to location. The internationally accepted standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 14.696 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure is that which is measured for the altitude and location of Paris, France and is used in relevance.
What is a synonym for ambient?
Synonyms : ambience , air , standard pressure , atm, atmosphere, standard atmosphere, aura, ambiance, atmospheric state
What is one standard atmosphere of pressure in kilopascals?
101.325 kilopascals.
