The big reason is because air is air, and water is water. The second reason is because air is compressible, while water cannot be compressed.
What that means is that if you compress air to twice the pressure, it will be one-half the volume. If you compress water to be twice the pressure, the volume won't change.

What are the different types of pressure feet?
water for example.absolute pressure; gauge pressure; atmospheric pressure
State and explain how the boiling point of water will change if the atmospheric pressure falls?
Water boils when its internal pressure reaches that of the atmospheric pressure. Therefor, if one lowers the atmospheric pressure, the water would boil at a lower temperature (in fact, one can make water boil at room temperature by dramatically lowering the atmospheric pressure).
Will the boiling point of water differ different with noon temperature?
Different places have different elevation, and different elevations have different air pressure. It is the ambient air pressure which affects the boiling point of water. Air presses down on water, making it harder for the water to form bubbles. Less pressure produces a lower boiling point. More pressure produces a higher boiling point.
What temperature does water boil and evaporates into steam?
boiling point is a property which depends upon the atmospheric pressure. when vapour pressure of water is equal to external is called its boiling point.. if pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure ,boiling point is 100 degree celcius.
In what temperature range can liquid water be found?
From 0ºC to 100ºC depending on pressure, so this is at atmospheric pressure.
How are atmospheric pressure and water pressure different?

Why is it different at 5000 feet to boil water?
The atmospheric pressure is lower. When you are boiling the water, the water's vapour saturation pressure is able to match the atmospheric pressure faster therefore it boils faster and at a lower temperature.
You are collecting gas over H2O in an experiment does the atmospheric pressure have anything to do with the pressure inside the gas collection container?
Yes, the pressure inside the collection container will be exactly equal to the atmospheric pressure if the water level in the collection container is level with the rest of the water. If the atmospheric pressure is different, then the pressure inside the collection container will be different, and that will affect how you calculate the amount of gas collected. If the pressure is different due to the difference in altitude of the location, or even different weather, the results will be different. Simply measuring the atmospheric pressure with a barometer will allow you correct for any such differences.
How is evaporation different from boiling?
as the evaporation occurs under the atmospheric pressure that is492degr and the boiling point occurs above the atmospheric pressure different liquids have different boiling points just the boiling point of water is 100deg c
State and explain how the boiling point of water will change if the atmospheric pressure falls?
Water boils when its internal pressure reaches that of the atmospheric pressure. Therefor, if one lowers the atmospheric pressure, the water would boil at a lower temperature (in fact, one can make water boil at room temperature by dramatically lowering the atmospheric pressure).
What happens when pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or a solution?
If a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to a solution or pure water, its water potential increases
Why does water boil when the vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure?
Because while atmospheric pressure is the greater of the two the vapour pressure of the water can not spontaneously form bubbles (ie boil).
What are different types of pressure sensors?
absolute pressure; gauge pressure; atmospheric pressure...
Why is the boiling point of water different in San Diego than in Utah?
The boiling point of water depends on the purity of the water as well as the atmospheric pressure.
What is cause of atmospheric pressure?
Just as water pressure is caused by the weight of water, atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air. Pg. 126 Conceptual Physical Science 4th Edition.
Where water boils first in lower pressure or high atmospheric pressure?
in Lower pressure water does not have to get as hot to boil
