Why does a barometer have a higher reading at sea level then at the top of the mountain?
Air pressure on earth results from the earth's gravitational pull on the earth's atmosphere. In some sense, pressure results from the weight of the air above the point at which one measures pressure. At higher altitudes, there is less air above, resulting in less weight, which translates into pressure.
Is the Atmospheric pressure on Mars is roughly half that of Earth's at sea level?
Yes, the atmospheric pressure on Mars is about 0.6% of Earth's pressure at sea level. This is due to Mars having a much thinner atmosphere compared to Earth.
If a spaceship on Venus' surface would crumple like a tin can Is it because of gravity?
No. The gravity on Venus would be slightly less than on Earth, about 90% of Earth's.The difference is a much greater atmospheric pressure, which on the surface of Venus is about 92 times the sea-level pressure on Earth. As we see with deep underwater conditions on Earth, this pressure could crush an unreinforced structure with a lower pressure inside. The pressure from Venus's carbon dioxide atmosphere is about the same as the ocean pressure at a depth of 1 kilometer on Earth.
How does the pressure at sea level change as the distance from earth increases?
As you move away from Earth's surface, the pressure decreases. This decrease in pressure is due to the decreasing mass of the atmosphere at higher altitudes. At sea level, the pressure is highest because of the weight of the air above pressing down.
What is the Difference between sound power level and sound pressure level?
Sound power or sound intensity I is a sound energy quantity.Sound pressure p is a sound field quantity.Sound intensity is sound pressure squared. I = p².See related link.
What is the difference in pressure between two different locations called?
If you mean locations as in physical location on the earth... Then, differences in pressure between locations can be attributed to their altitudes (or heights) from sea level.
What is the difference between altitude and air pressure?
Air pressure is the amount of pressure exerted by Earth's atmosphere in a specific place, while altitude is the vertical distance of an object or place from sea level. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, since there is less atmosphere to exert pressure.
What is the difference between surface pressure and sea level pressure?
Surface pressure is simply the air pressure at ground level, anywhere on Earth. Sea level pressure is an adjustment made so that we can compare pressure at stations of different elevations. Sea level pressure is surface pressure if it were taken at sea level. Small differences in air pressure are important in meteorology, which is why we measure pressure precisely. The problem is that pressure is a function of elevation to first order, and weather differences to second. That's why it must be adjusted to be meaningful. Otherwise we would think that Denver, CO is always under an extreme low pressure system.
What is the difference between elementary level and basic level?
what is the difference between elementary and basic
What causes difference in ir pressure at earth's surface?
at sea level air is 14.7psi and it changes the higher you go up above sea level and below. just depends where you are
The red liquid level of the manometer on laminar airflow indicates what?
The red liquid level of the manometer on laminar airflow indicates the pressure difference between the two points of the airflow system being measured. This pressure difference helps determine the flow rate of the airflow.
Difference between corporate level strategies and business level strategies?

What is the difference between relief and elevation on a physical map?
Relief is the difference between high and low elevationElevation is the the height above sea level of a point on Earth's surface.by` Lora Sukiasyan
What is the difference between dB HL and dB SPL?
dB HL stands for decibel Hearing Level, and dB SPL stands for decibel Sound Pressure Level.
What determines in which direction carbon dioxide and oxygen will diffuse in the lungs?
pressure difference between carbon dioxide and oxygen level between pulmonary artery and alveolar space
