∙ 12y agoThe idea is to calculate Earth's surface area, using the formula for the area of a sphere. Then multiply pressure times area, to get force. The weight of the atmosphere is simply the force with which it presses down upon Earth.

∙ 12y agoThe weight of the Earth's atmosphere can be calculated using the formula: Weight = Pressure x Area. The area in this case would be the surface area of a sphere, which is 4πr^2 where r is the radius. Plugging in the values, the weight of Earth's atmosphere would be approximately 5.17 x 10^18 Newtons.
The pressure can be calculated by dividing the force exerted (124500 N) by the area of the table (1.5 m^2). Therefore, the pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere on the kitchen table is 83000 Pa (Pascals).
The transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in Earth's atmosphere is an example of convection. As warmer air rises and cooler air sinks, heat is transferred through the circulation of air in the atmosphere.
Ultraviolet, visible light, and some radio waves are able to penetrate the Earth's atmosphere. However, X-rays and gamma rays are largely absorbed and blocked by the 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.
Earth's gravity does not have a specific measurement in pounds per square inch. Gravity is typically measured in units of acceleration (m/s^2 or ft/s^2), which represents the force of gravity acting on a mass. The gravitational force on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 or 32 ft/s^2.

Venus has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide. Its average surface pressure is a crushing 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earths
autmospheric pressure
The three layers of the Sun's atmosphere are the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona. The photosphere is the visible surface where sunspots are found. The chromosphere is a thin layer above the photosphere where solar flares occur. The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, extending millions of kilometers into space.

The average air pressure at sea level is around 1013.25 millibars or 29.92 inches of mercury.

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.
