WHAT DOES AIR PRESSURE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

air pressure

Atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted on a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the atmosphere of Earth. In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point. On a given plane, low-pressure areas have less atmospheric mass above their location, whereas high-pressure areas have more atmospheric mass above their location. Likewise, as elevation increases, there is less overlying atmospheric mass, so that atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation. On average, a column of air one square centimeter in cross-section, measured from sea level to the top of the atmosphere, has a mass of about 1.03 kg and weight of about 10.1 N .

Definition of air pressure in the English dictionary

The definition of air pressure in the dictionary is the force of air pressing down on an area. Other definition of air pressure is the force exerted by air due its being confined within a reservoir.
