Aug 14, 2017 at 5:43 | comment | added | jamesqf | You could easily figure this out yourself - with the caveat that the atmosphere doesn't have a sharp upper boundary. By convention the Karman Line at 100 km/62 miles marks the boundary. So figure the area of the Earth in km^2, multiply by 100, and you have the volume in km^3. If you want the weight, atmospheric pressure is just a bit over 10,000 kg/m^2. The answers to your other questions are yes and yes, but it depends on the time scale you're looking at. | |
