Answer:
Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted on the Earth's surface by the column of air above the Earth. Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of air above the Earth's surface.
Explanation:
The air around you has weight, and it presses against everything it touches. That pressure is called atmospheric pressure, or air pressure. It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth. Atmospheric pressure is commonly measured with a barometer.
