Question

How much does the sky weigh??​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\boxed{\bf{\red{Answer࿐}}}}}}$

The air that surrounds us begins at the surface of the Earth and goes up to the top of the sky. All that air, the entire atmosphere, weighs about 5 million billion tons! We don't get crushed because all that weight is distributed evenly over the entire surface of the Earth.

So good question... U deserve to clear IIT ! All the best friend !

Thanks for following me

Answer :

• While mass and weight are not interchangeable (weight is variable, while mass is constant), Cavendish's “weighing the world” experiment yielded a result of approximately 6 sextillion tons. The total mass of Earth's atmosphere is about 5.5 quadrillion tons, or roughly one millionth of Earth's mass.
• The air that surrounds us begins at the surface of the Earth and goes up to the top of the sky. All that air, the entire atmosphere, weighs about 5 million billion tons! We don't get crushed because all that weight is distributed evenly over the entire surface of the Earth.
• At sea level, on average, the weight of the air above this unit area would weigh 14.7 pounds! The pressure applied by this air on the unit area would be 14.7 pounds per square inch. Meteorologists use a metric unit for pressure called a millibar. Average pressure at sea level is 1013.25 millibars.
