What else can I help you with?
Is gravity a variable?
Gravity is a constant force that acts upon objects with mass, causing them to be attracted to each other. While the strength of gravity can vary based on the mass of the objects and their distance apart, it is not considered a variable in itself.
What 2 forces are acting on a falling object in the earths atmosphere?
The two main forces acting on a falling object in Earth's atmosphere are gravity, which pulls the object downward, and air resistance (also known as drag), which opposes the object's motion and slows it down as it falls.
How does gravity affect an object in motion?
it pulls the object towards the earth which kind of slows it down i guess. or is that friction? For an object travelling in the Earths atmosphere, or near to the Earth above the atmosphere, gravity provides a force pulling the object towards the centre of the Earth. Unless the object is travelling fast enough, what is called the escape velocity, this gravity force will ultimately cause the object to fall back to the surface. Friction is something else, the friction with the air in the atmosphere also slows the object, but this force acts in opposition to the direction of motion, not towards the Earths centre. To compute the trajectory of the object you need to take both forces into account.
Which layer do light gases escape earths gravity?
Earth's lighter gases such as Hydrogen and Helium will rise to the top of the atmosphere. Since they are very light, they will easily be knocked awry by the solar wind, the stream of charged particles coming from the Sun.
A meteor is an asteroid that has been captured by a planet's or a moon's gravity and has been pulled away from the sun's gravity true or false?
False. A meteor is a small rocky or metallic body that enters a planet's atmosphere and burns up, creating a streak of light in the sky. It comes from a meteoroid, which is a smaller fragment of an asteroid or comet that has entered the Earth's atmosphere.
Which area marks boundary where earths atmosphere is constrained by gravity?
magnetosphere.
Which marks the boundary where earths atmosphere is constrained by gravity?
magnetosphere.
What is the size of the atmosphere?
Earths atmosphere? 300 miles. There is no definite boundary.
The earths atmosphere came from where?
Gravity pulled it in.
What is the the earths moons atmosphere?
There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.
What is the difference between the earths atmosphere and the earths gravity?
The two are completely unrelated.
What force holds the particles of air in earths atmosphere?
The Earth's gravity.
When earths early atmosphere formed which gases where lost because earths gravity was too weak?
Hydrogen and helium
What force holds the atmosphere to earths surface as it travels through space?
Gravity.
What boundary in earths atmosphere blends with space?
Exosphere. The layers of the atmosphere are: Space Exosphere Thermosphere Mesosphere Stratosphere Troposphere Earth
Why air pressure from earths atmosphere is not the cause of gravity?
Gravity is an entirely separate entity which is a consequence only of the mass of the earth itself. In fact, the atmosphere presses down because gravity is pulling on it.
What causes meteors to enter earths atmosphere?
Gravity. And the meteor is on a path that intersects the orbit of the Earth.
