Where is an object that is stationary relative to earths surface moving fastest relative to space?

geosynchronous orbit. The below is not completely accurate but close enough to state the concept and basic practice: A ring of spots above the equator where you can park your satellite and it will stay above the same spot. For a more accurate understanding reading on this subject and the related Lagrange orbits will be best.


The geothermal is about 25C for every 1km of depth below Earths surface?

Geothermal gradient refers to the increase in temperature with depth below the Earth's surface. On average, the geothermal gradient is about 25-30°C per kilometer. This gradient varies depending on factors like location and geologic conditions.


Why does air pressure drop as you move away from the earths surface?

In simple terms... gravity ! Gravity is holding the air close to the surface of the Earth. The further away you are from the surface - the lower the gravity - and thus the lower the air pressure.


What occurs when objects free fall near the Earths surface constant acceleration?

When objects free fall near Earth's surface, they experience constant acceleration due to gravity. This means that the objects increase their velocity by the same amount each second while falling. The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.


How does friction between the ground and molecules in the air affect winds near earths surface?

Wind at the surface is slower than the "winds aloft" The biggest effect is within a few inches of the ground.

Does pressure and temperature increase or decrease with depth below earths surface?

it increases


Why can a satellite be stationary above the earths surface?

It appears stationary because it is moving around the Earth at the same rate that the Earth is rotating about its axis.


Which change would cause a decrease in the amount of insolation absorbed at Earths surface?

An increase in cloud cover or an increase in atmospheric particulates like aerosols would lead to a decrease in the amount of insolation absorbed at Earth's surface by reflecting more sunlight back to space before it can reach the surface.


Why doesn't the atmosphere decrease nor increase steadily as you move from earths surface toward space?

The temperature in the atmosphere doesn't steadily increase or decrease as you move away from Earth's surface towards space because at the point where the atmospheric layers intersect, the temperature remains constant, just like when water changes state.


Does gravity decrease or increase if earths mass doubled?

More mass --> more gravity.


Does pressure increase from earths surface toward the center of earth?

Yes.

Where is an object that is stationary relative to earths surface moving faster relative to space?

Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).

What will be the effect on radiation received at earths surface of a decrease of ozone in the stratosphere?

Decrease of ozone in the stratosphere could cause UV to enter the surface. These could cause skin cancer and the immune system to weak.
