unless you are an alien from outerspace, i think you mean "our" atmosphere. this pressure varies with hight above ground. at sea level, the pressure is referred to as 1 atm. this is equivalent of the force of a column of 760 mm of Mercury.
if you were to go high in an airplane or on a very high mountain, you would notice a decrease in pressure.
similarly, the lowest points on earth have the highest pressures.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call the body of air which surrounds our planet?
The pocket of air that surrounds the earth is called the earths Atmosphere
How does the air pressure on mars compare with earth?
earths average air pressure is 1013mb where as mars average air pressure is 7mb
Air weight that varies over earths surface is called?
Atmospheric pressure varies over Earth's surface, mainly due to differences in temperature, altitude, and weather conditions. This variation in air pressure creates different weight of air known as atmospheric weight.
Does air pressure change with altitude?
The higher up you are the lesser the air pressure in the atmosphere.
Explain what hppens to air pressure as you move away from the earths surface?
Pressure increases as you get closer to earth.
What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
Why doesn't a closed air bag collapse under the weight of earths atmosphere?
The pressure inside the bag is the same as the pressure outside.
Where is air pressure exerted and how does it change as you move up through earths atmosphere?
Air pressure is exerted in all directions throughout Earth's atmosphere, but it is stronger closer to the surface due to the weight of the air above pushing down. As you move up through the atmosphere, air pressure decreases because there is less air above exerting force downward. This is why air pressure is lower at higher altitudes.
Why doesn't a closed paper bag collapse under weight of earths atmosphere?
There is air pressure in that bag too
Where does the atmosphere exert pressure?
The earths winds
Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
What is earths atmosphere consisted of?
air
What is earths atmosphere made out of?
air
What has an effect on earths air pressure?
gas composition of atmosphere (including water vapour); altitude; temperature; and wind velocity.
What is The pressure exerted by the gas in earths atmosphere called?
autmospheric pressure
How does air affect the earths atmosphere?
I do not mean to sound rude or patronising but air IS the atmosphere.
