My 8 year old asked what would happen if you take the atmosphere clone it and put it at the edge of our current atmosphere. -
My 8 year old asked what would happen if you take the atmosphere clone it and put it at the edge of our current atmosphere.@ozoned The pressure at the surface would double, since pressure is provided by the accumulated weight of the atmosphere pushing from above. Two atmospheres, two times the pressure.
The depth of the atmosphere wouldn't change much though (depending on where you start measuring it) because air is highly compressible.
