Here's a breakdown:
* Atmospheric pressure: The weight of the air above a certain point exerts a force on that point. This force is called atmospheric pressure.
* Gas pressure: Each gas in the atmosphere contributes to the overall pressure, and the pressure of each gas is proportional to its concentration.
* Forces from wind: Moving air (wind) creates forces on objects, but these forces are caused by the movement of the air itself, not the gases as a whole.
Here are some key points to remember:
* Pressure is not a force, but a force per unit area.
* The Earth's atmosphere is held in place by gravity.
* Atmospheric pressure varies depending on altitude. It's higher at sea level and lower at higher altitudes.
