∙ 10y agoThe weight of air in the atmosphere is called "atmospheric pressure" and is commonly measured using a barometer.
In general, the air in the atmosphere presses against you with the force of 14.7 pounds per square inch.
101.3 kPa, or if you want weight 10.3 tonnes per square metre

What is the name of the air pressing down on us?
Air pressure
What is the weight of air of the atmosphere pressing down on earth?
Yes, the atmosphere is at atmospheric pressure, or 1 ATM. A column of air one square inch in cross-section, measured from sea level to the top of the atmosphere, would weigh approximately 14.7 psi (pounds force per square inch).
What is the result of air mass?
the result of air mass/air weight is air pressure.
The force of air pushing down?
You might have expected the result to be pressure, but it's not. Pressure occurs due to the bombardment of air molecules on a surface. The weight of a column of air causes so little pressure that it can be considered negligible.
The measure of the force with air molecules push on a surface is called?
The measure of the force due to air pressing on a surface is called the force.If you divide that by the area of the surface, then you have the pressure.
Is the weight of the air pressing down on earth?
Air pressure
Is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth?
Air pressure
Why is air dense at sea level?
The air has the weight of all the air above it pressing down on it. this compresses the air increasing its density. So air at sea level is more dense than air on the top of the mountain, since the air on the mountain top has less air above it pressing down.
Why does th humanbody notcollapseunder the weight of the air pressing down on it?
Due to blood pressure maintained by the heart.
Air pressure is the weight of air pressing down on the earth it is measured by a barometer what kind of weather does high pressure usually bring?
humidity
How much weight of air is pressing down on 1 square inch of the top of your head?
roughly 14.6 pounds
Does pressure increase or decrease with altitude?
Because as you climb higher there is less air above you pressing down on you with its weight.
What is a barometer used to measure?
the weight of the air pressing down on the earths surface is known as air pressure.this pressure is measured using a barometer
What is the name of the air pressing down on us?
Air pressure
Why is the force exerted on the same amount of area on top of the mountain less than the force exerted at sea level?
Although you didn't mention air pressure, that seems to be what you are asking about. Air exerts pressure because air has weight, and we have a very thick atmosphere (which extends upward for about 200 miles) pressing down on us. But at higher altitudes, such as a mountain top, there is less air pressing down, since only the part of the atmosphere that is higher than where you are, is pressing down on you.
The weight of the earth's atmosphere pressing in all directions?
Air preasure
Why is the air pressure lower at higher altitude?
Same reason water pressure is higher the deeper you go. There's more stuff above, pressing down. Air has density and weight too.
