How does gravity have an affect on our atmosphere?

1 answer:

7 0

-- Gravity causes forces of attraction between masses.

-- Every molecule of every component of our atmosphere has mass.

-- Gravity causes forces of attraction between the molecules of the
atmosphere, which may largely be disregarded, but more importantly
between the molecules of atmosphere and the Earth.

In other words, gravity has the effect of keeping the atmosphere in place
around the Earth. Without gravity, there would be no atmosphere.

(There would be no Earth either, but that's another story.)

<h3>About RBC</h3>

RBC stands for Red Blood Cells. They are also called erythrocytes. They are circular, biconcave, disc-shaped and non -nucleated cells. They are formed in red bone marrows and destroyed in the spleen. Their lifespan is very short that is 4 months.

RBC contains an iron pigment called haemoglobin that carries oxygen from place to place in the form of oxyhemoglobin. When haemoglobin is exposed to oxygen, it turns red. So the blood is red in colour. If RBC is less in blood then, a person is suffering from anaemia , as there is not enough haemoglobin to transport oxygen.
