How many kilograms are in 3 gallons?
A kilogram is a measure of weight. A gallon is a measure of liquid volume. You cannot convert one to the other. You can, however, convert gallons to liters. 9 gallons is equal to 34.06871 liters. Actually a kilogram is a measure of mass. A kilogram at sea-level weighs 9.8 Newtons. Also at sea level a kilogram has a weight of 2.2 pounds.
What is the difference between kg and bar?
Kg is the abbreviation for kilogram, a unit of mass (or weight) Bar is a unit of pressure often used in describing atmospheric pressure, but also used in other contexts. Standard sea-level atmospheric pressure is slightly less than one bar.
What would you use to measure the elevation above sea level on air temperature and air pressure?
elevation above sea level . . . barometer or GPS air temperature . . . thermometer air pressure . . . barometer
What are the three unit of pressure equal to atmospheric sea level?
A not-commonly-used measurement is 'atmosphere'. One atmosphere is the average pressure at sea-level: 101.325 kPa, 1013.25 mbar, 29.921 inches of mercury (inHg) or 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
What is the level of the ocean's surface called?
Yes, mean sea level (MSL) is the average (mean) height of the sea.
Which unit of measure would you use to measure the length of the sea?
A kilometre. A megametre may be more appropriate but it is not a unit that is used much.
What unit of measure would you measure sea?
miles
Unit of metric measure would best measure a mountain trail?
Its height (above mean sea level): metres Its length: kilometres - or metres if it is a really short trail.
What does above sea level mean?
Sea level is a standard 'height' from which you can measure the relative height of objects (ie. cities) as such, high above sea level would refer to something 1,000+ metres above sea level... or whatever definition you think appropriate.
How are negative numbers used to measure under sea level-also show picture of it?
Use positive numbers for altitudes above sea level, zero is sea level itself, and negative numbers for altitudes below sea level. As for the picture, use a number line - but make vertical instead of using the commonly used horizontal position.
What is the unit of reduced level?
metres above the mean sea level
What unit of measurement would you use to measure the length of the sea?
A kilometre.
What the function of haga altimeter?
Haga is the brand name. An altimeter is used to measure altitude, which is how high you are above sea level.
What unit of measurement would you use to measure the air pressure?
The international standard unit for measuring pressure is the pascal. 1 pascal = 1 newton / square meter. A unit commonly used is the bar; 1 bar = 100,000 pascal; and that's the approximate air pressure at sea level. Older units that are still sometimes used include mmHg (millimeter mercury).

Why is sea level used to measure the height of a place?
The height of a landform on Earth is DEFINED as its height above sea level since sea level is the closest thing on Earth to a constant or standard starting point. Sea level itself changes with the tides and wind and weather, so we use what is called "mean sea level" which is an average of measured levels at a given place over an extended time.
What is a measure of how high a place is above sea level?
Altitude
