How does the density of the earth provide evidence that the interior of the earth is denser that the surface?
The density of the Earth as a whole has been calculated by observing the orbits of the moon and artificial satellites, trajectories of near earth asteroids, etc. We can measure the density of materials from which the surface is composed. The two are not the same. That tells us that the density of the interior is different from the density of surface materials. Since the overall density is greater than the density of the surface materials, the interior must be denser still in order to bring the overall density to what has been observed and calculated.
How many pound would you weigh on Jupiter if you weigh 50 pound on Earth?
Equatorial surface gravity on Jupiter is 2.528 time that of earth, so a 50lb person on earth would weigh 126.4 lbs
How much would a 250 lb person weigh on Mars?
A 250 pound person would weigh about 82 pounds. The gravitational force on the surface of Mars is about one third of that of earth.
Density on earth is 7.9 What would be on a spaceship?
yes
If the earth's surface was an insulator and not a conductor would lightning be able to strike earth's surface?
Yes, but it wouldn't spread.
The density of the Earth's surface?

Can the earth have the same density in the center as it does on the surface?
No it can not. We know this because we know the mass of the whole Earth (by looking at its gravity) and if the whole Earth were made of rocks of the same density as we see at the surface, there would not be enough mass to account for the gravity. The Earth must have more dense stuff in its core.

What would a 100 pound person weigh on earth surface?
Well it depends on where this person was weighed. If they were weighed on Earth, then they would be 100 pounds.
It so happens that an actual increase in weight is found in even the deepest mine shafts what does this tell us about how the Earth's density changes with depth?
The Earth's core is about 7 times the density of the surface rock. That means, a person in a deep mineshaft is getting closer to more mass. Therefore, density is relative to the depth of the earth by the correlation this has on a person's weight.
What is the relationship between the density of earth materials and depth below the surface of the earth?
As the depth increases, the density increases also.
Person who studies surface features of the earth?
geologist is the person that study the surface of the earth
How does air density change throughout the atmosphere?
Air density is higher near the surface of the Earth. As you climb away from the surface, the pressure decreases.
What happens to the density of the air as air on the surface of the earth warms?
The sun heats the surface of the Earth, and some of this heat goes into warming the air near the surface.
The period of oscillation of a pendulum of constant length at the earths surface is T.its period inside a mine would be?
When you go down below the surface of the Earth, the gravity will initially INCREASE. This is because Earth's density is not uniform - there is more mass concentrated closer to the center, than in the case of a sphere of uniform density. If Earth were a sphere of uniform density, the gravity would get less, once you go below the surface - because some of Earth's material would pull you upward.In any case, if you go further down, eventually the force of gravity will become less. When the gravity increases (as it does initially), the period will become shorter.

As the depth increases, the density increases also.
Would a smaller planet than earth with the same shape and size have more gravity?
If the planet is smaller, then it can't have the same size. If you assume that a smaller planet has the same density as Earth (and therefore less mass), its surface gravity will be smaller. If you assume that a smaller planet has the same mass as Earth (and therefore more density), its surface gravity will be greater. This is because we would be closer to the planet's center - or to the planet's matter in general.
