Gas molecules in the atmosphere are pulled toward the earth by what?
gravity pulls gas molecules down to earth because the force of it keeps us on the earth
Why does a ball arch when thrown and not in a straight line?
The gravity from Earth pulls it down, thus changing its direction.The gravity from Earth pulls it down, thus changing its direction.The gravity from Earth pulls it down, thus changing its direction.The gravity from Earth pulls it down, thus changing its direction.
Why doesn't gravity flatten the atmosphere against Earth's surface?
It does, actually. Gravity pulls down on the atmosphere (otherwise it would spin off into space from centripetal force). That is why at sea level, the atmospheric pressure is about 15 pounds per square inch; but the higher you get, the thinner the air is. Here is something interesting (and kind of on the same subject) when Pluto is at Aphelion it's atmosphere becomes a solid and gravity pulls it to the surface.
Is air pressure the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on earth?
Yes, air pressure is the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on Earth's surface due to the force of gravity pulling the air molecules towards the ground.
What is the name of the force that pulls object down towards the centre of the Earth?
The force that pulls objects down towards the center of the Earth is called gravity.
A force which pulls you down?
Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other, such as the force that pulls you down towards the Earth's surface.
What is a force which pulls you down?
Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.
What force pulls you down towards the earth?
Gravity
What force acting on a meteor falling down through the earths atmosphere?
The main force acting on a falling meteor through the Earth's atmosphere is gravity. Gravity pulls the meteor downward towards the Earth's surface, causing it to accelerate as it falls. Air resistance also plays a role in slowing down the meteor's descent as it interacts with the atmosphere.
Why don't the earth's atmosphere disappear into space?
The Earth's atmosphere is held in place by gravity. The gravitational force of Earth pulls gases down towards the surface, preventing them from escaping into space. Additionally, the Earth's magnetic field also plays a role in protecting the atmosphere from being stripped away by solar wind.
What is the action and reaction of earth gravity pulls down on you?
The Earth pulls down on you, but you pull up on the Earth!
Why are you stuck to the earth?
cause gravity always pulls you down
