Cool and dry.
I do not completely agree with the answer above. When air has more moisture in it, it is heavier. When it is colder it is denser and heavier. Air planes have more "lift" in higher humidity and hot air is what makes balloons rise.
In weather it appears that air is dry when the pressure is high...more rain when the pressure is low. That is a factor of weather patterns, not properties of air.
What else can I help you with?
Where is the highest air pressure?
air pressure is the highest near the earths surface
What layer is the pressure the highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
Where on earth is the air pressure the highest?
The air pressure is highest in areas which are the coolestÊwhich leads to air sinkingÊand creating high pressure at the surface. The opposite is true for areas which are warmest. This causes the air to rise, making pressure at the surface lower.
When is air pressure usually highest?
Air pressure is highest when it is cool and dry. It is lowest when it warm and humid. In high pressure, the sky is clear and dry, while in low pressure, the sky is warm and muggy and humid, which is where hurricanes can start.
Is air pressure greatest in a cave?
No, air pressure is not greatest in a cave. Air pressure is highest at sea level due to the weight of the air above pushing down. In caves, air pressure is usually lower than at the surface because caves can have openings that allow air to escape.
Which altitudes would have the lowest air pressure and why?
The highest altitudes have the lowest air pressure. Air pressure increases as altitude decreases. Above sea level is lower pressure; below sea level is higher pressure.
What is the peak of a wave where the greatest air pressure occurs?
The peak of a wave where the greatest air pressure occurs is known as the crest. This is the highest point of the wave where the air particles are most compressed, resulting in an increase in air pressure.
Where would air pressure be the highest on a mountain?
At the base of the mountain.
What is vertical distribution of air pressure of the earth?
Vertical distribution of air pressure refers to how air pressure changes with altitude in Earth's atmosphere. Generally, air pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the weight of the air above pushing down. This decrease in pressure follows an exponential relationship, with the highest pressure at the surface and decreasing rapidly with height.
What case would have the highest air pressure?
A cold, wet day
What layer The air pressure is the greatest here?
The layer where air pressure is the greatest is the troposphere. This is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending from the surface up to about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) high, depending on the location and weather conditions. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases, making the troposphere the region with the highest density of air molecules and therefore the highest pressure.
Where is air pressure the highest sea level or atop a mountain?
Sea level
