It's the troposphere because :
The troposphere contains 75 per cent of the atmosphere's gas. It also holds huge amounts of dust and water vapor, and is often dense with clouds and mist. Air pressure is greatest in the troposphere, because gravity pulls the atmosphere towards the Earth, squeezing most of its weight into this lowest layer.

The force exerted by the weight of a column of air on a surface is called?
Air Pressure The force exerted by the air above is called?
What happens when the atmospheric pressure is greatest near the Earths surface?
Air pressure is always greater nearer the earth surface than at altitude due to the mass of air above.
Is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth?
Air pressure
What generally happens to atmospheric pressure on a windy day?
On a windy day atmospheric pressure decreases because the higher the wind velocity, the lower the air pressure, or atmospheric pressure. This is how chimneys work, the air that moves above the chimney causes low air pressure because of the high wind velocity compared the velocity of the air inside a house. The air inside the house goes towards the low air pressure and takes the smoke with it.
What word describes the weight of the air at any particular point on earth?
Atmospheric Pressure or Air Pressure.
In which layer is the pressuer the highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure. This is because the troposphere is the layer closest to the Earth's surface. As a result, the air is quite dense in the troposphere. As pressure is directly proportional to density, it means that the atmospheric pressure would be greatest in the troposphere.
Why is atmospheric pressure greatest at the surface of earth?
Atmospheric pressure is greatest at the surface of the Earth because there is more air above pushing down. As you move higher in the atmosphere, there is less air above, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure. Gravity also plays a role in compressing the air molecules closer to the Earth's surface, increasing the pressure.

What is the lowest most dense layer in the atmosphere?
The troposphere, It has the most mass because that is where all the weather occurs.~Amanda~
How does pressure affect the air?
Atmospheric pressure systems are made of air.
What is atomshpheric pressure.?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air.
Atmospheric pressure as element of weather?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air or the pressure exerted onto the Earth by the air. Pressure changes can lead to different weather patterns.
Is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth?
Air pressure
How does the air affect pressure systems?
Atmospheric pressure systems are made of air.
Air pressure is due to what?
an air compressor Or gravity if you mean atmospheric pressure.
How does warm air mass being pushed into a region of cold air affect atmospheric pressure?
It results in a lower atmospheric pressure.
