The air in the atmosphere is made up of a number of gases. Lesson PLan What is “Air-pressure”? The air in the atmosphere is made up of a number of gases. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Gajwani Schools and Colleges

Although we are usually unaware of this pressure. Lesson PLan OV: These gases press down on the Earth’s surface, exerting a force that we call atmospheric pressure or air pressure. Although we are usually unaware of this pressure. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Gajwani Schools and Colleges

S8S1SCCH1-Air-pressure-Day1 Lesson PLan S8S1SCCH1-Air-pressure-Day1 “Variations” OV: Air pressure varies over time and from place to place. If we travel up a mountain or go up in a hot air balloon. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Gajwani Schools and Colleges

for example, the air pressure gets less the higher we go for example, the air pressure gets less the higher we go. We can explain this difference by comparing air pressure to a pile of blankets on your bed. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1

Lesson PLan “HEIGHTS” Air pressure at sea level is the equivalent of having many blankets, which would feel very heavy. If you have only one blanket though, it would feel very light, and this is like the air pressure at the top of a mountain. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Gajwani Schools and Colleges

STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Each layer of air presses down on the layers below, and so the greatest pressure is at ground level where we have the maximum amount of air above. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1

STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Lesson PLan Air pressure also varies over time, and these temporal differences are usually caused by the temperature of the air. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Gajwani Schools and Colleges

STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Lesson PLan Cool air is denser (heavier) than warm air. Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cool air and will therefore rise above STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Gajwani Schools and Colleges

STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Lesson PLan Changes in air pressure bring changes in the weather and make winds blow. Air usually moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, and this produces winds. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Gajwani Schools and Colleges

STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Lesson PLan Air-pressure : Air-pressure is the weight of the column of air above a horizontal surface of unit area. As we go up and reach and reach a higher altitude, the pressure is lower because the column of air is reduced STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Gajwani Schools and Colleges

How to measure Air-pressure? Lesson PLan How to measure Air-pressure? a Mercury barometer and aneroid barometer and digital barometer are commonly used to measure Air-pressure. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Gajwani Schools and Colleges

How to measure Air-pressure? The principle of mercury barometer is illustrated in following figure. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1

STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Lesson PLan The height of the mercury column AB will vary according to the Air-pressure. The higher the Air-pressure the greater will be the height of mercury column. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Gajwani Schools and Colleges

STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Lesson PLan DIGITAL BAROMETER Now a days Digital Barometer is used. Because it is portable and accurate. An electrical capacitor in it is used to measure the change in air-pressure. STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Gajwani Schools and Colleges

STD 8, SUB science, CH-1, Air-pressure, DAY-1 Lesson PLan UNIT OF PRESSURE Pascal(Pa) is the international standard unit of pressure. The meteorological community uses hecto-pascal (hPa) as the unit of pressure. It is the same as 1millibar,a unit of pressure no longer used nowdays.
