How much does the Earths Atmosphere weigh? Also let us know how to calculate that.
to many numbers, i think [tex]10^5 Pa[/tex] will be good enough.yourdadonapogostick said:atmospheric pressure is 101325 Pascal. i don't know the wieght.
The weight of the Earth's atmosphere is approximately 5.5 quadrillion tons, or 1.2 x 10^19 pounds.
The weight of the Earth's atmosphere is calculated by determining the average density of the atmosphere and multiplying it by the total surface area of the Earth.
The Earth's atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and trace amounts of other gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and argon.
The weight of the Earth's atmosphere has remained relatively constant over time. While there may be slight variations due to changes in atmospheric conditions, it is considered a closed system and the overall weight remains the same.
The Earth's atmosphere is relatively heavy compared to other planets in our solar system. However, it is much less dense than the atmospheres of gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn.
