Is carbon disulfide heavier than air?
At room temperature, carbon disulfide is a liquid and therefore quite a bit more dense ('heavier') than air. Even at temperatures where carbon disulfide is a gas, it's considerably more dense than air at the same temperature and pressure. The density of a gas is more or less proportional to its molar mass; for carbon disulfide this is 76 while air is mostly nitrogen (28) and oxygen (32).
Why does temperature affect the air pressure?
Air temperature and air pressure are inversely proportional. As temperature increases, air pressure decreases. This is best demonstrated in an enclosed vessel.
What decreases as air pressure decreases?
Air Pressure would decrease normally when a storm approaches. See related link for more information.
How do weather fronts compare?
The air pressure can change, the temperature can vary and many more
What is the relationship between air pressure and temperature?
The relationship between air pressure and temperature is most frequently used in weather. When there's a high pressure system you can expect lower temperatures per higher pressure and dry air. When there's a low pressure system, its the exact opposite. You can expect humid air and warm temperatures.
How is temperature and pressure realated?
High temperatures coincide with low pressure and low temperatures coincide with high pressure. Cold air is heavier than warm air and has a higher pressure with it.
Air pressure is highest when the air is?
Cool and dry. I do not completely agree with the answer above. When air has more moisture in it, it is heavier. When it is colder it is denser and heavier. Air planes have more "lift" in higher humidity and hot air is what makes balloons rise. In weather it appears that air is dry when the pressure is high...more rain when the pressure is low. That is a factor of weather patterns, not properties of air.
What happens to air as temperature increases?
Air pressure rises and drops as the temperate changes because the higher temperatures weigh down the air to create low pressure. When it is cooler, the air can rise more which creates high pressure.
Does light weigh more than air?
no it just is the light ficture that makes it seem. no because you can feel the air and its pressure and for the light it actually some times makes the air heavier because of the heat and makes air heavier in pressure

How does mountains and water effect air pressure and temperature?
more mountains + more air equals more pressure.... its like sitting on a bag of air
Is air lighter or heavier than carbon?
At standard temperature and pressure (STP), carbon is a solid, so it would be denser than air at STP.
How Does temperature affect air pressure and air density?
When altitude rises, the air pressure and density both decrease. When temperature rises that means that more air is pushing down on it. So this means that the air pressure and density rise when temperature rises.

Is low pressure warm or cold?
its all about the amount of molecules rubbing together to form heat... bla bla bla...more pressure=more molecules
How does the temperature affect air pressure?
Answer:Rising temperature results in lowering air pressure and vice vesa.
How does temperature effect air pressure and air mass?
When gas molecules are heated, the molecules move more quickly, and the increased velocity causes more collisions. As a result, more force is exerted on each molecule and air pressure increases. Temperature affects air pressure at different altitudes due to a disparity in air density.
