Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I wondered if this belonged in one of the astronomy related sections but I don't know much about physics, I've never even taken a physics class.
I constantly daydream about random stuff, and I thought up something the other day that was been bothering me and I just wanted an answer.
Say you somehow suspended a tube in the atmosphere, its about 57 miles long and 30 feet in diameter. One end is in the troposphere about 5 miles above sea level, one is just above the karman line in the thermosphere [I think I accidently labeled it exosphere in the diagram <.<']
Would the pressure difference cause the air in the troposphere to be constantly sucked into the mesosphere, and then that air returned to Earth by Earth's gravity? I know I'm missing something, but I don't have the physics know how to figure it out.
I drew up a diagram too

Any help would be appreciated :)
