Why does air not fall to the ground due to gravity? Also, why do lighter than air gases like helium rise?
In: Physics
Fluids exert a force on objects called as the buoyant force. When another object of density lesser than the fluid is introduced into it, the buoyant force is strong enough to make an object float. Since helium has lesser density than air, it floats in air, causing it to rise.
