  • Understanding Air Pressure: Definition, Causes & Units
    The measure of the force with which air molecules are pushing on a surface is called air pressure.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of the air above a given area.

    * It's caused by the constant collisions of air molecules with the surface.

    * The more molecules there are in a given area, the higher the air pressure.

    * Air pressure is typically measured in units like pascals (Pa) or atmospheres (atm).
