I'm having a debate with my buddy. The riddle he gave me was this: What can be measured, but has no length, width or height?
I think that AIR/Oxygen can be an answer to this question. I know there can be others, but he doesn't think it can be air/oxygen.

I think the answer to the riddle is "TIME".
Other answers might be:
HEAT
THE VALUE OF YOUR 401(k)
YOUR IQ

well...since air is a mixture of several gases, he could say that you can take one molecule of each element composing air and measure it's dimensions, although I think that might be stretching it. Gases are a physical element, so the molecules do have physical properties, such as length, height, weight, etc. I don't know the answer to the riddle though...maybe gravity? gravity has no tangible properties, but can be measured with a known mass...

Individual air molecules have a length, width and height. I think the answer is something else

The composition of air can be measured, as well as the volume of air. Volume is the product of length,width, and height.

Air tension is measured in diverse gadgets.they're a million.environment(atm)(1atm=760mm of mercury) 2.Bar 3.Torr 4.Pascals(psl) The SI unit of tension is N/m2 Conversions: 1atm=0.987bar 1bar=1000000N/m2 1torr=133pascals

Temperature is a good answer, but if you think about it there could be several answers. Like voltage, pressure, etc.
