without density it would be pretty hard for air to exist.
Here is a breakdown:
first of all we know air exists, and that it exists in 3 dimentions of space.
In order for something to exist there must be space in which it can exist, this is Volume (V).
Since air is a form of matter, it must have mass (m)
we now have two variables which define air's presence, m and V, mass of air (m), and the space it inhabits, (V).
since so much mass has to exist in a certain amount of space, the relationship between mass and space is proportional. You will have so many kilograms of air in so many meters cubed of space. Just as you have 12 eggs in 1 carton, or 4 tires per car, density tells you how many Kg of air per meter cubed. (in metric)
density = m/V
bottom line: any mass will have density, because it occupies space, and density simply represents how much mass is occupying how much space.
What else can I help you with?
What has a weight of 9.8 newtons?
Any 1-kilogram mass near the Earth's surface.
What is the force of gravity on a 3500 g of an object?
You can convert that to kilograms (reminder: 1 kg = 1000 grams); then multiply by the value of the gravitational field, which near Earth's surface is about 9.8 newton/kilogram. This will give you the weight in newton.
Which layer of the earth has the greatest pressure?
The lowest level, the troposphere near the Earth's surface, has the highest pressure.
Waterweed grows near the surface of the water in lakes and ponds. It often grows in dense clumps. It has been observed that the chloroplasts in this plant move around inside the cell. How might this b?

Are wind-driven currents near the surface or in the deep waters?
Vertically
Why is layer near earth surface is more dense?
as all most of atmospheric air is present near the surface of earth.
How does friction between the ground and molecules in the air affects winds near the earth surface?
upper earth (atmosphere)For computer answer A+ air near the earth's surface blows more slowly.
Why is there most air closer to the surface?
Most of the Earth's atmosphere is concentrated near the surface due to gravity. The force of gravity pulls air molecules towards the Earth, making the air denser at lower altitudes. As you move higher in the atmosphere, the air becomes less dense because there are fewer air molecules present.
What is the force that holds air near earth surface called?
The force that holds air near Earth's surface is called gravity. Gravity is responsible for pulling air molecules towards the surface of the Earth, creating air pressure and keeping our atmosphere in place.
How is the atmosphere near earths surface heated from below?
The atmosphere near Earth's surface is heated from below primarily through the process of conduction. This occurs as the Earth's surface absorbs solar radiation and heats up, transferring this heat to the adjacent air molecules through direct contact. As the air warms, it becomes less dense and rises, creating convective currents that distribute the heat throughout the atmosphere.
The force of attraction that causes a higher density of air molecules near the earth's surface is called?
gravity
Why is the atmosphere near the earth's surface densest?
The atmosphere is denser near the Earth's surface because gravity pulls the air molecules towards the ground, compressing them and increasing their density. As you move higher in the atmosphere, there are fewer air molecules above you, leading to lower pressure and density.
What kind of root tends to grow in dense network near the surface of the earth so it can branch out and collect water?
Fibrous root . ♥
How is the atmosphere near the earth's surface warmed?
The atmosphere near Earth's surface is primarily warmed through the process of conduction, where heat is transferred from the Earth's surface to the air molecules in direct contact with it. Additionally, sunlight absorbed by the Earth's surface is re-radiated as heat, warming the surrounding air.
How did density affect the formation of earth's layers?
As the earth formed, the heavier, more dense elements sunk toward the center, while the lighter, less dense ones stayed near the surface. The result was layers of rocks of similar density.
How did rock density affect the formation of earth?
As the earth formed, the heavier, more dense elements sunk toward the center, while the lighter, less dense ones stayed near the surface. The result was layers of rocks of similar density.
Are air particles more closely packed near earth surface or high above?
Air particles are more closely packed near the Earth's surface due to the weight of the atmosphere compressing them together. As you go higher above the surface, the air becomes less dense and particles are more spread out.
