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.

2019-11-27 17:26:02 UTC  

If you are right I should just quit university lol

2019-11-27 17:26:18 UTC  

But you prob aren't and i am just too dumb to figure out why sorry

2019-11-27 17:26:30 UTC  

@Drewski4343 it never happens. the gas always expands to fill the space...and eventually leaves the chamber. we do this thousands of times per day

2019-11-27 17:26:45 UTC  

it's not true

2019-11-27 17:26:53 UTC  

And if a force is pulling it back?

2019-11-27 17:26:58 UTC  

What about the equilibrium?

2019-11-27 17:27:17 UTC  

No reaction is 100%

2019-11-27 17:27:25 UTC  

But this prob isn't the right question

2019-11-27 17:28:07 UTC  

smoke is a particle. not a gas

2019-11-27 17:28:10 UTC  

you know that right????

2019-11-27 17:28:31 UTC  

smoke is both gas and solid(or liquid, forgot)

2019-11-27 17:28:42 UTC  

um gases are particles too...

2019-11-27 17:28:47 UTC  

the white stuff you see are particles. it's called multiple scattering

2019-11-27 17:29:04 UTC  

anyway, they'd behave the same way

2019-11-27 17:29:13 UTC  

they are solids.

2019-11-27 17:29:18 UTC  

they are not in the gaseous state

2019-11-27 17:29:24 UTC  

they are just small. you can even filter them πŸ™‚
