The rotation of the earth is the reason for gravity. The gravitaional force pulls all matter towards the center of the earth, including gases such as oxygen or carbon dioxide in the air. This causes all matter to congregate near the ground. Because all the matter is near the ground, at higher altitudes there is less matter and therefore the air is less dense.
The rotation of the earth is NOT the reason for gravity. In fact, as far as we know, there is no "reason" for gravity. The rotation of the earth affects atmospheric pressure in very complex, indirect ways. The rotation of the earth creates the Coriolis effect. It also moves the atmosphere across the region of direct solar influence. Whoever wrote the original answer (above) is an idiot.

Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
How do rotation and tilt each affect the ammount of solar energy that differenty parts of earth receive?
They affect because earths rotation can go larger and sorter from sun and ,tilt affects because it can move earth at every side and that has a shadow in other part of earth.
What is the average psi on the earths crust?
Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 14.7 PSI. So, then what is the pressure at about 5,645 feet below the surface of the earth?
The foucault pendulum provides evidence of earth?
It provides evidence of the Earth's rotation on its axis.
The force with which air pushes on the earth's surface is called?
The measure of force with which air molecules are pushing on earths surface is called air pressure. At sea level, at what we call standard atmospheric pressure, the pressure is about 14.696 PSI, or about 29.92 inHg, or about 760 mmHg. This is 101.324
What causes the global winds to separate into three bands?
pressure gradient For A+ The earth's rotation
What does the rotation of earth causes?
earthquake No, not earthquake, but changes in atmospheric pressure.
How does atmospheric pressure affect you. How does atmospheric pressure change as you increase your distance above earth's surface?
I dont do science i am a more pe type
Caused by the rotation of the Earth?
-- day and night -- rotation of atmospheric pressure systems -- rotation of the plane of Foucault's pendulum -- rotation of ocean eddies and currents -- apparent rising and setting of sky objects
Does Mars have extreme pressure?
The atmospheric pressure of Mars is 6 millibars as opposed to the 1,013 millibars of atmospheric pressure on Earth. Thus, its atmospheric pressure in relationship to Earth is extremely low.
What is Neptune's atmospheric pressure compared to earth's atmospheric pressure?
42% higher
How does earth's atmosphere affect its rotation?
The atmosphere doesn't affect the earth's rotation, however the earth's rotation generates the Coriolis force which deflects wind to the left in the southern hemisphere and right in the northern hemisphere. Unless you're talking about things like atmospheric angular momentum exchange induced by frictional and mountain torque, but I'm guessing not...
How many more times is the atmospheric pressure in Jupiter's core greater than the atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface?
Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater
Can a solar flare stop the Earth's rotation?
No. Solar flares do not affect Earth's rotation.
Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere against the of the earth?
surface.
What are the roles of density and Earth's rotation in atmospheric circulation?
ako nga nagtatanong ehh
How does the solar energy affect oceans and atmosphere movement?
Solar energy is the driving force of weather on Earth. In the "water cycle", the sun is responsible for evaporation of ocean surface water. As this happens, the water vapor rises. The combination of the Earth's rotation and the changes in atmospheric pressure is the primary determinant for when and where the rain comes down.
