The what is the air surrounding the earth or another planet?
field or atmosphere
What is the effect of a warm air mass and a cooler air mass converging at earth's surface?
tornado
Why is most of the air found in the troposhere?
The force of gravity (the mass of the Earth) pulls the thin layer of gasses surrounding the planet (the atmosphere) and the result is that the gas layer has the greatest density near the surface of the planet.
Does solid water have the same mass?
Need more data to answer. Are you talking about the mass of an object, neither air nor water, being the same when in the air or in the water? Yes. Are you talking about the total mass of all the air on earth compared to the total mass of all the water on earth? Definitely not.
Are masses the same as fronts?
No. An air mass is a large mass of air with given characteristics of temperature and humidity that distinguish it from surrounding air masses. A front is the boundary between two air masses. For example, a cold front marks were a cold air mass moves in and pushes a warmer one out of the way.
What is The total mass of air surrounding the Earth from the uppermost thermosphere down to the troposphere?
The atmosphere
What is the definition of atmosphere that relates specifically to the air above the surface of the earth?
The gaseous mass or envelope surrounding a celestial body.
Cold air mass?
A cold air mass is a mass of air that has colder characteristics than the surrounding air.
What makes up close to one fourth of the air surrounding the earth?
Oxygen makes up 20.95% of the air surrounding Earth (that is almost 25%).
Can air have mass?
Yes air has mass. It is the mass of the air above a point on earth that is responsible for the air pressure.
What is the blanket of air or gases surrounding the earth?
The atmosphere
What is an atmosphere in science terms?
The blanket of air surrounding the earth.
The what is the air surrounding the earth or another planet?
field or atmosphere
What causes air to press down on Earth?
All matter has mass. gravity is the attraction of objects with mass. The mass of the earth is high enough that gravity from the earth pulls the air towards itself.
What is the effect of a warm air mass and a cooler air mass converging at earth's surface?
tornado
Is air mass the amount of air presses on the earth?
yes
What is the difference between atmosphere and magnetosphere?
Atmosphere is the gaseous mass or envelope surrounding a celestial body, especially the one surrounding the earth, and retained by the celestial body's gravitational field. The air or climate in a specific place. While the magnetosphere is an asymmetrical region surrounding the earth, extending from about one hundred to several thousand kilometers above the surface, in which charged particles are trapped.
