The surface pressure of the earth is nominally 1013.25 hectoPascals (hP), which is also referred to as 1

The surface pressure of the earth will vary slightly according to weather conditions.

Are there rocks on the surface of the sun?

No, there are no rocks on the surface of the Sun. The Sun is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases, with extreme temperatures and pressure that prevent the formation of solid rock-like structures.


Why does wind depend on the sun?

Wind is ultimately created by the sun's uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which causes air to move in response to temperature and pressure differences. As the sun heats the Earth, air near the surface is warmed and rises, creating areas of low pressure. The movement of air from high to low pressure zones results in the formation of wind.


What kind of pressure do the layers surrounding earth exert?

the barometric pressure combined with the heat of the sun creates an expansion pressure which increase toward the earth's surface


How many times more surface pressure is there on the sun than earth?

28 times ours.


Plutos surface pressure?

Pluto's surface pressure is extremely low, estimated to be about 10 microbars, which is about 100,000 times less than Earth's surface pressure. This is due to its thin atmosphere composed mainly of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide.


Why is the sun's energy generated mostly at its center and not near its surface?

At the center, both the temperature and the pressure are highest. Both a high pressure and a high temperature increase the likelihood of fusion.


How Electromagnetic Waves produced on surface of sun?

Electromagnetic waves on the surface of the sun are produced through the process of nuclear fusion in its core. The intense heat and pressure generated by nuclear reactions cause charged particles to move rapidly, creating electromagnetic radiation in the form of light, ultraviolet, and other wavelengths. These waves are then emitted from the sun's surface into space.


Why is the sun's energy generated in the center and not from its surface?

The sun is powered by the fusion of hydrogen and helium in it's center. The heat in the center of the sun, and the pressure in the center, is great enough to cause the fusion to happen.


What is the surface of the sun like?

the surface of the sun is hot


Is the Sun hotter than Betelgeuse?

Yeah, the Suns radiant pressure is more increased then Betelgeuse.


To calculate the pressure exerted on a surface what quantity is divided by the surface area?

To calculate the pressure exerted on a surface, the force normal to the surface is divided by the surface area. The formula for pressure is pressure = force / area.


What is the Primary cause for wind?

Wind is primarily caused by the uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun. As the sun heats the air, it causes temperature variations, which lead to differences in air pressure. These pressure differences cause air to move from high pressure areas to low pressure areas, creating wind in the process.
