Atmospheric force, often referred to as atmospheric pressure, is the force exerted onto a surface by the weight of the air above that surface in the atmosphere of Earth (or that of another planet). It results from the collisions of air molecules with objects. This pressure is distributed across the surface of the Earth, exerting a force on all objects, and it decreases with increasing altitude. Atmospheric pressure is measured using a barometer and is an essential factor in weather patterns and climate.
