AIR PRESSURE
Keeping an Atmosphere
• Atmosphere is kept by the world’s gravity
▫ Low mass (small) worlds= low gravity
=almost no atm.
▫ High mass (large) worlds = high gravity
= thick atm.
• Gravity and pressure
▫ Air pressure depends on how much gas there is.
▫ i.e. The atmospheric thickness.
▫ Air pressure makes air near Earth’s surface dense.
Gravity and Atmospheric Pressure
• The stronger the gravity, the more gas is held by the world
and the greater the weight of atm. on a point
Earth’s Atmosphere
• About 10 km thick
• Consists mostly of
nitrogen (78% N2)
and oxygen (21%
O2)
• Air has mass
because it is made
of atoms,
molecules, and
compounds.
The air is made up of molecules
that are in constant motion.
• Gravity pulls the air
molecules toward the earth,
giving them weight.
• The weight of the air
molecules pulling down and
all around us is called the
air pressure.
• Sea level Air Pressure =
14.7 lbs./in2
DEMONSTRATION - Suction Cup
DEMONSTRATION Kamikaze
Water Glass Trick
• Fill a cup with water.
• Place an index card on
top.
• Invert the glass and
card
• Watch the Air
Pressure at work!
• Air pressure is the
weight of air
molecules from
above.
• Air pressure is equal
in all directions.
• As you go up in
altitude, pressure
decreases.
Pressure = force per unit area
Air Pressure
DEMONSTRATION - Hercules Spheres
• Can you pull these
hemisphere’s apart?

• Altitude – As Altitude , Pressure Decreases 
• Temperature - Temperature , Density , Air Pressure 
• Humidity - Humid Air Weighs Less , Air Pressure 
Influences of Air Pressure
Influences of Air Pressure - ALTITUDE
High altitudes = lower pressure
Low altitudes = higher pressure
Influences of Air Pressure - ALTITUDE
As
elevation
goes up
Barometric
pressure
goes
down.
This is an inverse relationship.
Influences air pressure - Temperature
• Heat and Temperature are different.
1. Heat = Total amount of energy in a substance.
2. Temperature = Measure of Molecular Motion.
• Warm Air = Lower Pressure
• As temperature increases molecules spread further apart, become less dense,
and produce less pressure.
• Density = Mass / Volume
Slow moving
Very Dense
Warming up
Moving faster
Very Warm air Moving really fast
Spreading out Becoming less Dense
50°
70°
90°
Molecules
move
faster
Air becomes
less dense.
Less dense air
rises (displaced).

Cork Shot
Cooler air Slow

Moving slowerVery Warm air Moving
really fast Spread out
Less Dense
50°
70°
90°
Molecules start
to move slower.
Air becomes
more dense. More dense
air sinks.
Influences air pressure - Temperature
• Cooler Air = More Pressure
• As temperature decreases molecules move slower and
group together, become more dense, and produce higher
pressure.
Molecular Motion
• Molecules in motion will create a lower pressure
area.
• High pressure will rush in to even out the air
pressure.
• The faster molecules move, the lower the air
pressure will get.
• BERNULLI’s PRINCIPLE:
▫ Molecules in motion have lower air pressure than
those not moving.
