Since the density of the air in a tornado is reduced by the pressure drop the overall concentration of oxygen is lower than it would normally be. Some estimates indicate that in the very largest tornadoes (which have the largest pressure drops) may have as little as 70% the normal amount of air and thus oxygen.

Can The eye of the tornado have oxygen in it?

Yes, the eye of a tornado typically contains air from the surrounding environment, which includes oxygen. The winds inside the tornado can be less turbulent in the eye, allowing for the presence of oxygen in that part of the storm.


Can a tornado keep you inside?

Considering that you shouldn't go outside during a tornado, yes. You are much safer inside.


Is it beautiful inside a tornado?

No. Winds in a tornado are destructive, and the dust and condensation in the air would preventyou from seeing much.


Do tornadoes have air inside them?

Yes. A tornado is pretty much made of air. Although pressure inside a tornado is low it is nowhere near being a complete vacuum.


Do tornadoes have no oxygen?

There is air and thus oxygen inside of them. Contrary to popular belief, although pressure is low inside a tornado it is not a complete vacuum.


What is the difference between the pressure inside and outside a tornado funnel?

The pressure inside a tornado funnel is lower than the pressure outside. This pressure difference is a key factor in the formation and strength of tornadoes, as the low pressure inside the funnel contributes to the destructive force of the winds associated with tornadoes.


What is the density inside a tornado?

Air density inside a tornado is about 5-10% less than that of the air surrounding it.


How warm is it inside a tornado?

Inside a tornado, temperatures can vary widely. They can range from near freezing to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the conditions and the materials being carried within the tornado.


What clouds are inside a tornado?

The only cloud you will actually find inside a tornado is the condensation funnel. Other clouds, such as the wall cloud and cumulonimbus are outside the tornado itself.

Should anyone take a picture from inside a tornado?

No. Trying to get a piacture from inside a tornado would be very dangerous and not worth the risk,


Why did your ears pop during a tornado?

Your ears pop when air pressure changes. The pressure inside a tornado is much lower than its surroundings.
