  • Understanding Air Pressure: Force Exerted by Air
    The measure of force with which the air molecules are pushing on a surface is called air pressure.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Air molecules are constantly moving and colliding with each other and with surfaces.

    * Force is the push or pull exerted on an object.

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

    The higher the air pressure, the more force the air molecules are exerting on the surface.
