Atmospheric pressure is caused by what?

force = pressure x area , so pressure is force divided by area, air molecules stack up on top of each other and the force of them (caused by gravity and their mass ) weighs down with a pressure of 14.7 lbs/sq inch or 1 bar. As you go higher the stack is lower so the pressure drops until you get to space and it measures a vacuum.


Objects weigh less on the moon because?

Objects weigh less on the moon because it has less gravity compared to Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, so objects on the moon experience less force pulling them down, resulting in lower weight.


How are night and day caused by the earth's rotation?

it is caused by if the earth rotates, if the earth goes away from the sun it is night . so that is how night is caused. Day is caused by the earth rotates and, the sunlight hits that place. so that is how the day is caused.


If you're upside down in space will all the blood rush to your head?

In space, there is no gravity pulling the blood downward, so it won't necessarily rush to your head like it does on Earth. Instead, in the microgravity environment of space, fluids in the body tend to redistribute more evenly throughout your body.


Why moon goes around the earth but never fall?

The moon orbits the Earth due to the gravitational pull between the two bodies. The moon's velocity and distance from the Earth create a balance between the force of gravity pulling it towards the Earth and its inertia carrying it forward, preventing it from falling. This balance allows the moon to maintain its orbit around the Earth.

What does the force caused by gravity pulling down on an object cause an object cause an object to have?

The forces of gravity in both directions between the Earth and an object on it are equal,and act in opposite directions. The force from the object toward the Earth is what wecall the object's "weight" on Earth. The other force is so universally ignored that it isalso almost universally misunderstood. It acts in the direction from the Earth towardthe object, it is quite literally the Earth's weight on the object, and it is exactly equalto the other one.


Your weight is a force caused by?

The mutual gravitational attraction between you and the earth.

What cause air pressure?

Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above us pressing down on the air below. This pressure is a result of Earth's gravity pulling the air molecules towards the surface. Temperature changes and weather systems can also affect air pressure.


Why gravitational acceleration decreases when moving earth deep?

As you go down the Earth, there is less matter below you, pulling you down, and more matter above you, pulling you up. (However, the first few kilometers the gravitational force will increase, due to the fact that the Earth is more dense in the center - and you get closer to that center.)


Would you weigh the most on Jupiter?

Because there is more gravity pulling you down than there is on Earth.


What is the action and reaction of earth gravity pulls down on you?

The Earth pulls down on you, but you pull up on the Earth!


How hard is gravity pulling you down?

In my case, the magnitude of the force is 195 pounds. In return, I am also pulling the Earth up toward me with a force of 195 pounds.
