5 PSI on a very small portion of your body ( 1 inch by 1 inch) would just feel like 5 pounds of weight in that area. if your were COMPLETELY covered in 5 PSI over pressure, you would instantly be crushed. in other words, death.

Why cant you feel air pressure?

Why you do not feel air pressure although there is a tall column of air above us?

If the human body was hollow and contained a vacuum, we would then feel the air pressure. However, our lungs contain air, so the internal pressure is the same as the external pressure. Air pressure is perfectly balanced everywhere it is in contact with us, and all of our internal fluids, blood, lymph, etc., are under pressure, and balance the pressure that the air exerts. If a human being were to be exposed to the vacuum of outer space, our pressurized internal fluids would explode. We can only feel a difference in pressure, we do not feel perfectly balanced pressures, within and without.


How does air temperature change with altiltude?

Yes. The higher you go the lower the pressure is and the lower you go the higher the pressure is. That's why your ears feel like popping in a plane or in a vally and things like that.


Why do you not feel weight of air pressing on you?

We do not normally feel the large atmospheric pressure because the pressure inside our bodies is almost the same as the external pressure and so it is balanced.


If water pressure does not change why does it feel like more pressure when it comes out of the shower head?

Although water pressure is constant, when other pressure is put on it, air for instance it will be forced through an open. this is much like an aerosol or propellant filled can that forces product out of the container.

How can you die from a rapid change in air pressure?

Sudden change in air pressure might lead to death. Sudden change in air pressure will disrupt the blood and air circulation within your body. You might feel dizzy and have nose-bleeding in such cases.


What controls air masses?

Ultimately - the Sun. The sun warms the atmosphere facing towards it. This reduces the air pressure, and cooler air moves in to equalise the pressure. This creates what we feel as wind.


How does air pressure like to move?

air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressured areas. therefore the pressure makes air masses to move around the equator. but where in areas where the pressure difference is small then the air mass doesnt move it becomes stationary.


Why does a tire feel harder on a hot day?

The air inside the tire heats up, building the pressure. The pressure is exerted on the walls of the tire, making it feel harder.


What defines low air pressure and where is low air pressure typically found?

There is low air pressure usually when you are up in a mountain or in an airplane like when your ears pop after you get in an airplane and you are at high altitude your ears do this because the pressure inside your ears and the pressure in the air is not the same. When there low air pressure the air is less dense.
