So just saw a tweet about a dude in a sub at the bottom of the Mariana trench.
So that is a lot of pressure, not sure how many bars but the moons of Saturn and Jupiter may have deep, ultradeep oceans.
Anyone here have any idea of what the pressures would be like compared to the same depth in an Earth ocean?
For instance, what if you had a total water world. Would the pressure be the same assuming the same radius as Earth?
I assume the pressure would go down at X depth depending on the size of the world, say assume the total water world was 1000 km radius, say 1/6th of Earth radius. Would it be safe to say at X depth the pressure would also be 1/6th of Earth at the same depth?
