We do not normally feel the large atmospheric pressure because the pressure inside our bodies is almost the same as the external pressure and so it is balanced.

∙ 9y agobecause its the same like a cycle the air pressure pushes down on us and at the same time our bodies push up so it equal.

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoyour body has equal air pressure pushing back against it from your body so you cant feel it
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoalong with atmospheric pressure our body also exerts some pressure
coz god made it like that

Why is the force exerted on the same amount of area on top of the mountain less than the force exerted at sea level?
Although you didn't mention air pressure, that seems to be what you are asking about. Air exerts pressure because air has weight, and we have a very thick atmosphere (which extends upward for about 200 miles) pressing down on us. But at higher altitudes, such as a mountain top, there is less air pressing down, since only the part of the atmosphere that is higher than where you are, is pressing down on you.
What is the weight of pressure pressing on an object called?
Meow!
What is the buoyant force acting on you?
The weight of the displaced air is the buoyant force acting on me. But it is very negligible and so we don' t feel it anyway.
What are the 3 properties of air?
The three properties of air are weight, mass, and density.
Why is air pressure less at sea level and it's higher on a mountain top?
You have it backwards. Air pressure is the caused by the weight of the column of air pressing down on people or objects near the surface. Pressure is greatest at (or below sea level) and decreases with altitude (for the simple reason that the higher you climb, the less air is above you). Because water is about 1,000 times denser than air, the weight of air at sea level is about equal to 33 feet of water. This is why divers experience about one adtmosphere for every 33 feet they dive.
Is the weight of the air pressing down on earth?
Air pressure
Is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth?
Air pressure
The weight of the earth's atmosphere pressing in all directions?
Air preasure
Why does air pressure becomes lower as water molecules are added to the air?
Air pressure is the weight of the air at a specific location. On the surface of the earth, we have the entire weight of the atmosphere pressing on us in the form of air molecules like O2, N2, and CO2. As we go higher and higher into the atmosphere, there are fewer molecules and so there is less weight pressing against us.
Why is air dense at sea level?
The air has the weight of all the air above it pressing down on it. this compresses the air increasing its density. So air at sea level is more dense than air on the top of the mountain, since the air on the mountain top has less air above it pressing down.
Why does th humanbody notcollapseunder the weight of the air pressing down on it?
Due to blood pressure maintained by the heart.
What is a barometer used to measure?
the weight of the air pressing down on the earths surface is known as air pressure.this pressure is measured using a barometer
Air pressure is the weight of air pressing down on the earth it is measured by a barometer what kind of weather does high pressure usually bring?
humidity
How much weight of air is pressing down on 1 square inch of the top of your head?
roughly 14.6 pounds
Does pressure increase or decrease with altitude?
Because as you climb higher there is less air above you pressing down on you with its weight.
Why does air exert pressure?
Air exerts pressure in the same way that water exerts pressure on a diver. Air has weight, and because we are at the bottom of a blanket of air that surrounds the earth, the weight of that air is pressing down on us (creating pressure). If you go under water, you'll feel the additional pressure created by the weight of the water above you.
What is the pressing of air against you called?
Air pressure or atmospheric pressure. Wind is also air pressing against you.
