Here we consider a system as an open system .Now air forms the remaining system lwhich occupies remaining volume .;the considered system being small with respect to the volume enclosed by air ,there exists force exerted by air on this system in order to cover up the entire volume.----this is nothing but pressure

What is exerting pressure?

Force exerts pressure. For example: At the surface of the Earth the column of air in the atmosphere above an area has a mass that exerts a force (due to gravity) on that surface area.

What pressure does cold air exert?

Cold air exerts a low pressure. That is why cold air falls and hotter air rises above it.


Dry air exerts less pressure than air that has?

Dry air exerts less pressure than air that has a higher humidity. In general, air pressure is the sum of the individual pressures of gases present in the air. Dry air lacks any water vapor pressure in the air. Therefore, any air with a humidity above 0% has a higher pressure than dry air.

Why does air exert pressure?

Air exerts pressure in the same way that water exerts pressure on a diver. Air has weight, and because we are at the bottom of a blanket of air that surrounds the earth, the weight of that air is pressing down on us (creating pressure). If you go under water, you'll feel the additional pressure created by the weight of the water above you.
