The surface of the earth is at the bottom of an atmospheric sea. The standard atmospheric pressure po is measured in various units:

1 atmosphere = 760 mmHg = 29.92 inHg = 14.7 lb/in² = 101325 Pa = 1013.25 mbar = 1013.25 hPa.

What is Neptune's atmospheric pressure compared to earth's atmospheric pressure?

42% higher


What is a good or bad specific gravity reading on a load of 100LL aviation fuel What specific gravity reading should I be looking for on a new load out of a tanker?

6.7something depending on atmospheric pressure (colder / higher pressure air, SG gets higher) Avgas 100LL is about 6.0 pounds per gallon at about 60 degrees F. And at sealevel.


How does the boiling point different from lowland and highland?

in lowland the atmospheric pressure is higher so the boiling point will be higher,in highland atmospheric pressure is low so the boiling will be low


What would occur when he atmosheric pressure is higher than intrapulmonary pressure?

When the atmospheric pressure is higher than intrapulmonary pressure pressure, inspiration will not take place.


Why does the environment change the higher up you are?

lower atmospheric pressure


What happens as you move higher in the tropospere?

Atmospheric pressure falls


Is atmospheric pressure higher on a mountain or sea level?

The answer is sea level. Because atmospheric pressure decreases when altitude increases


When the water level is higher inside than outside the flask is the gas pressure in the flask higher or lower or the same as the atmospheric pressure?

The gas pressure in the flask is lower than the atmospheric pressure when the water level is higher inside than outside the flask.


How does altitude effect boiling points?

The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point. Boiling occurs when the atmospheric pressure equals the vapor pressure. So, at higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the vapor pressure is also lower which in turn creates a lower boiling point which causes foods to have to cook longer.


Is atmospheric pressure higher on a mountaintop or sea level?

sea level


Is atmospheric pressure higher on a rainy day or dry day?

I think is dry day has a higher pressure than rainy day.
