It means that if the gas is allowed to expand into a larger volume, the pressure - inside the container that contains the gas - will be less.

When area reduces velocity increases or decreases?

If you're talking about something like gasses, and by area you mean volume, and all other factors are held constant, then the pressure increases.... the velocity either increases or doesn't change, it certianly doesn't decrease.


Is atmospheric pressure larger with a bigger area?

The greater the area, the lower the pressure. The smaller the area, the higher the pressure. I am assuming by area you mean volume. According to the Ideal Gas Law, PV=nRT, pressure and volume are inversely related. As the volume increases, the pressure will decrease and vice versa.

How come Bernoullis principle say that as pressure decreases velocity increases when we know that as area increases pressure decreases we also know that as area decreases velocity increase?

By area do you mean cross sectional area of a stream tube? Bernoulli's principle only compares pressure and velocity and it covers all fluids. In the case of an ideal gas (constant density) decreasing the cross sectional area of a stream tube lets say; will not affect the pressure. But given any fluid volume..going from point a to point b if velocity decreases, particles in the fluid want to move outward. just remember any fluid must do two things move and apply pressure.


Can gases turn into liquids?

It depends what you mean. A gas turn into a liquid if heat is taken away, pressure is applied, or the volume of the container the gas is decreases.
