Air pressure

You will be surprised to know that air above us presses us with a great force on our bodies. However, we don't even feel it. This is because the air presses us from all directions and our body exerts a counter pressure. Air pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by the weight of air on the earth's surface .As we go up the layers of atmosphere, the pressure falls rapidly. The air pressure is highest at sea leval and decreases with height. Horizontally the distribution of air pressure is…
