Would a balloon rise in an atmosphere where the pressure was somehow the same at all altitudes Would a balloon rise in the complete absence of atmospheric pressure such as on the surface of the moon?

How does the atmospheric pressure at altitudes sea level compare with atmospheric pressure at sea level?
the atmospheric pressure below sea level is highter (novanet)
Why is the atmospheric pressure on moon is zero?
Because the atmosphere on the moon is negligible. No atmosphere = No atmospheric pressure
What does ATM in chemistry stand for?
ATM stands for atmosphere, such as in atmospheric pressure.
Does pressure increase significantly in higher altitudes?
No, quite the opposite. Atmospheric pressure is greater the more atmosphere there is above the point you are measuring, as gravity has an effect on the atmosphere just as it does on everything else. Therefore, the higher you are in the atmosphere, the less pressure there is. It may help to imagine it as a column of air above you, the shorter it is, the less it weighs.
What Measures AtMosphere Pressure?
A Barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
What is the relation between pressure in atmosphere and pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure. When we define the pressure in scientific way of absolute pressure, we need to add up an atmospheric pressure to the measured pressure.
What atmospheric layer that protects the earth from meteoric impact?
The complete atmosphere protects us from that. It is due to the tremendous pressure that they get destroyed.
How does atmospheric pressure change as you go from the top of a mountain to sea level?
It increases the lower you go in the atmosphere. In simple terms, there is more air pushing down on lower altitudes. Pressure will, of course, vary with weather conditions.
How does the kinetic-molecular theory explain why atmospheric pressure is greater at lower altitudes than at higher altitudes?
The kinetic-molecular theory explains that there is more pressure at lower altitudes because there are more obstacles for the gas molecules to run into and create more pressure. They collide with the walls of their container as well as other molecules. And at higher altitudes, there is more space for the gas molecules to travel and not bump into things therefore not as much pressure is created. Also, some extra info: the atmosphere is denser closer to the Earth's surface because the weight of atmospheric gases at any elevation compresses the gases below.
Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere against the of the earth?
surface.
Is there air pressure in the atmosphere?
Yes, the atmospheric pressure is very important.
Define atmospheric pressure?
Air pressure is the pressure exerted from the atmosphere
