How deep is 1 Atmosphere?

Answer 1

Scuba question
Answer: 33 feet

Answer 2

1 Atmosphere

Answer 3

There are many layers of the atmosphere.

1) The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer.(12km above ground)

2) Many jet aircrafts fly in the stratosphere because it is very stable. Also, the ozone layer absorbs harmful rays from the Sun.(50km above ground)

3) Meteors or rock fragments burn up in the mesosphere.(80 km above ground)

4) The thermosphere is a layer with auroras. It is also where the space shuttle orbits.(700 km above ground)

5) The atmosphere merges into space in the extremely thin exosphere. This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. (800 km above the ground)

Answer 4

If you are referring to how deep it is under water, I believe it is 33.9 feet (or 10.3 meters).

Here is a more detailed (albeit a bit more confusing answer) from http://www.answers.com/topic/atmospheric-pressure?cat=technology :

"Atmospheric pressure is often measured with a mercury barometer, and a height of approximately 760 mm (30 inches) of mercury is often used to teach, make visible, and illustrate (and measure) atmospheric pressure. However, since mercury is not a substance that humans commonly come in contact with, water often provides a more intuitive way to conceptualize the amount of pressure in one atmosphere.

One atmosphere (101.325 kPa or 14.7 lbf/in²) is the amount of pressure that can lift water approximately 10.3 m (33.9 feet). Thus, a diver at a depth 10.3 meters under water in a fresh-water lake experiences a pressure of about 2 atmospheres (1 atm for the air and 1 atm for the water)."

Answer 5

the depth of the atmosphere would be directly proportional to the gravity of the planet. be more specific.

Answer 6

It's about 14.7 lbs deep! lol
