Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
The force with which air pushes on the earth's surface is called?
The measure of force with which air molecules are pushing on earths surface is called air pressure. At sea level, at what we call standard atmospheric pressure, the pressure is about 14.696 PSI, or about 29.92 inHg, or about 760 mmHg. This is 101.324
Why sound wave cannot move from the earth to the moon?
Sound is made when the air vibrates. When someone speaks for example, the air vibrates, and then your ears pick this vibration up as sound. Because their is no air between the Earth and the Moon, sound can not travel, because no air is there to vibrate. Also, sound levels decrease as they go farther away from whoever sent them. Since the Moon is about 238,855 miles from Earth, sound gets so decreased you can't hear it.
What of these MOST likely causes winds to blow on Earth?
Winds on Earth are primarily caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. This differential heating leads to variations in air pressure, with warmer air being less dense and rising, while cooler air is denser and sinks. The movement of air from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas generates wind. Additionally, the Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, influences the direction of wind flow.
What produces areas of different pressures where air moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure creating wind?
Areas of different air pressure are produced by variations in temperature and humidity, which can be influenced by factors such as the Earth's surface, solar radiation, and geographical features. When the sun heats the Earth's surface unevenly, it causes some regions to warm up more than others, resulting in rising warm air and creating low-pressure areas. Conversely, cooler regions have denser, heavier air that creates high-pressure areas. Wind is generated as air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones in an attempt to equalize the pressure differences.
How does the air pressure on mars compare with earth?
earths average air pressure is 1013mb where as mars average air pressure is 7mb
How does the air pressure at the surface of the earth compare to the air pressure at about 7 miles above earth?
The air pressure at the surface of the Earth is much higher (roughly 14.7 pounds per square inch) compared to the air pressure at 7 miles above Earth, which is much lower due to the thinner atmosphere at higher altitudes. The pressure decreases with increasing altitude, following the barometric formula.
Why is the atmospheric pressure on moon is zero?
The atmospheric pressure on the moon is essentially zero because the moon does not have a significant atmosphere. Unlike Earth, which has a dense atmosphere that exerts pressure due to the weight of the air above us, the moon lacks this gaseous envelope and thus has almost no atmospheric pressure.
What is the air on the moon?
No, there isn't any air resistance on the moon
Why is their no pressure on the moon?
Because there is no air there.
Earth and moon have no atmosphere?
Just the Moon. We have air.
How does the air pressure on mars compare to that on earth?
The air pressure on Mars is significantly lower than that on Earth, averaging about 0.6% of Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level. While Earth's atmosphere is approximately 1013 hPa (hectopascals), Mars has a mean pressure of around 6.1 hPa. This thin atmosphere contributes to the harsh conditions on the Martian surface, making it challenging for human exploration and sustaining life as we know it.
Is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth?
Yes, the weight of the air exerts pressure on the Earth's surface, creating atmospheric pressure. This pressure decreases with altitude as the air becomes less dense.
What are the dangers of walking on the moon?
Air pressure
The air pressure inside the can compare to the air pressure outside the can equal lower or higher?
There is no difference of the average local air pressure inside or outside of the headphone.
Do earth and the moon have atmospheres?
Of course the Earth has an atmosphere- that is the air that you are breathing. However, the Moon does not.
How do air pressure relates to earth?
