The word isobar derives from the two ancient Greek words, ισος (isos), meaning 'equal', and βαρος(baros), meaning 'weight'.
- In meteorology, an isobar is a contour line of equal or constant pressure on a graph, plot, or map. (For further discussion, see under Contour line)
- In nuclear physics, two nuclides with the same mass number are called isobars. For example, boron-12 and carbon-12 are isobars.
- Isobar has also occasionally been used as a synonym for a heat pipe.
- Isobar is the title of a 2007 Science Fiction film.
- Isobar is an international network of digital marketing agencies.
- Isobar is a nightclub in Hobart.

What else can I help you with?
How are isobars related to wind direction?
Isobars are lines on a weather map that connect points of equal atmospheric pressure. The spacing between isobars indicates the pressure gradient; closely spaced isobars signify a steep gradient, leading to stronger winds. Wind direction is influenced by the pressure difference between areas; winds generally flow from high to low pressure, and they tend to move perpendicular to the isobars due to the Coriolis effect, resulting in a curved path. Thus, analyzing isobars helps predict wind speed and direction in weather patterns.
What are lines joining areas with equal air pressure called?
isobars
What are lines on a map joining areas of similar air pressured called?

By looking at a weather map how could you identify an area that is receiving strong winds?
by regions where the isobars are close together:D ...A+
Which group of terms describes lines on a map?
They could be: Latitudes and longitudes, Gridlines, Isobars, isotherms, contours, National or regional boundaries.

Where would you generally see isobars?
Yea, where would you generally see isobars??
What gereral spacing of isobars to wind speed?
The general spacing of isobars on a weather map indicates the strength of the wind; closely spaced isobars signify strong winds, while widely spaced isobars indicate lighter winds. The closer the isobars are, the greater the pressure gradient force, leading to faster wind speeds. Conversely, when isobars are farther apart, the pressure difference is smaller, resulting in weaker winds.
Do isobars help you predict which way the air will move?
Yes they do. Scientists make maps with isobars on them.
What measures isobars?
Isobars measure the air pressure in the sky and our atmosphere! I hope I helped a little!
What is isobars wind?
Isobars are lines on a weather map that connect points of equal atmospheric pressure. When isobars are closely spaced, they indicate a steep pressure gradient, which usually results in stronger winds. Conversely, widely spaced isobars suggest gentle winds. Understanding isobars helps meteorologists predict wind patterns and weather changes.
Which would show stronger winds widely spaced isobars or closely spaced isobars?
Closely spaced isobars mean stronger winds, as it indicates a tight pressure gradient.
What are lines on a weather map joining places that have the same air pressure?
Those lines are "isobars."
