Things have a mass

2019-11-27 17:21:27 UTC  

because that water is being influenced by atmospheric pressure.

2019-11-27 17:21:31 UTC  

Including gases

2019-11-27 17:21:36 UTC  

So they stay on earth

2019-11-27 17:21:37 UTC  

can you answer?

2019-11-27 17:21:39 UTC  

anyone?

2019-11-27 17:21:43 UTC  

What happens?

2019-11-27 17:21:50 UTC  

at 24torr at 25C for example

2019-11-27 17:21:56 UTC  

which is the vapor pressure of water

2019-11-27 17:21:56 UTC  

Oh right

2019-11-27 17:21:56 UTC  

All the air from it get out

2019-11-27 17:22:03 UTC  

the water isn't in space, though.

2019-11-27 17:22:07 UTC  

the liquid water goes into gas phase

2019-11-27 17:22:09 UTC  

and leaves the chamber

2019-11-27 17:22:11 UTC  

so, it's not really applicable...

2019-11-27 17:22:37 UTC  

it's under atmospheric pressure.

2019-11-27 17:22:40 UTC  

we evacuate large vacuum chambers (in Earth's gravity) thousands of times per day. NEVER does some gas stick to the bottom πŸ™‚

2019-11-27 17:22:45 UTC  

100% applicable

2019-11-27 17:22:49 UTC  

Also I don’t think a tennis ball is comparable to any earth

2019-11-27 17:22:55 UTC  

gravity cannot hold a gas against a vacuum

2019-11-27 17:23:00 UTC  

Hmmm

2019-11-27 17:23:01 UTC  

we prove that thousands of times per day

2019-11-27 17:23:12 UTC  

Part of the gas indeed leaves earth mayby

2019-11-27 17:23:18 UTC  

if that were true, NASA could not evacuate their large vacuum chamber πŸ™‚

2019-11-27 17:23:21 UTC  

But a very small part

2019-11-27 17:23:25 UTC  

ok

2019-11-27 17:23:27 UTC  

πŸ™‚

2019-11-27 17:23:30 UTC  

I tried

2019-11-27 17:23:58 UTC  

it's not the same kind of pressure you're describing... gas can exist in a vacuum chamber.

2019-11-27 17:24:16 UTC  

nope. I've worked with vacuum chambers my entire career

2019-11-27 17:24:27 UTC  

if gravity held gas back, our chemical reactions would never have worked

2019-11-27 17:24:32 UTC  

it's ridiculous

2019-11-27 17:24:44 UTC  

gravity doesn't hold gases down. fullstop

2019-11-27 17:25:02 UTC  

gravity = duct tape for heliocentric model

2019-11-27 17:25:05 UTC  

Hmmmm this looks interesting

2019-11-27 17:25:09 UTC  

apply liberally where needed to cover gaps in science

2019-11-27 17:25:47 UTC  

We gata take you to space

2019-11-27 17:25:51 UTC  

lol

2019-11-27 17:26:00 UTC  

here's a hypothetical: you have a vacuum chamber and introduce some gas. It sinks to the bottom because there's nothing to keep it buoyant. That bit of gas on the bottom of the chamber has a teeny tiny bit of weight and exerts a teeny tiny bit of pressure because of it. THAT's earth's atmospheric pressure.
