What kind of pressure does a column of air exert on the air or surface below it?
air pressure
Why do clouds disappear with high air pressure?
In a high pressure system air sinks and is compressed. As the air is compressed it heats up, which can cause clouds to evaporate.
Does air exert pressure on air or mercury?
Yes. (see - barometer)
What exactly is compressed air?
Air that is held inside one of several types of special containers at a decreased volume is known as compressed air. For the air to be compressed, its pressure inside the container must be at a higher pressure than that of the atmospheric air outside of it.
What happens if air does not exert pressure?
Depends on how you do that - but most are fatal.
What happens if the air does not exert pressure?

What pressure does cold air exert?
Cold air exerts a low pressure. That is why cold air falls and hotter air rises above it.
Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
Why does fluid pressure exists?
Because liquids/fluids have mass, and the earth has gravity. Everything has pressure, even air, we are just always under the pressure of air so we don't notice it.. by M. Smith
Does air possess potential energy?
Compressed air does, but not air at normal atmospheric pressure
Why do fluid create pressure?
Fluids have a higher density than air and therefore exert more pressure than air.
Is compressed air more buoyant than atmospheric air?
Since weight is the measure of an object's gravitational pull, the compressed air does not weigh more. The difference is in the density of the air. A tank filled with compressed air will weigh more than a tank that is filled with air at normal atmospheric pressure.
