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?
What are lines joining areas with equal air pressure called?
isobars
What are lines on a map joining areas of similar air pressured called?
isobars
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.
Line connecting points of equal atmosphere pressure?
The lines on a map for pressure stands for Isobars which they are lines on a map around areas with the same pressure readings to indicate highs and lows.
What is the similarities between isobars and isotherms?
what is the similaraties between isobars and isotherms ]
Where would you generally see isobars?
Yea, where would you generally see isobars??
What measures isobars?
Isobars measure the air pressure in the sky and our atmosphere! I hope I helped a little!
Do isobars help you predict which way the air will move?
Yes they do. Scientists make maps with isobars on them.
What are lines on a weather map joining places that have the same air pressure?
Those lines are "isobars."
Compare and contrast isobars and isotherms?
Isobars are lines that eqaul pressure isotherms are line that equal tempature
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.
Isobars have same?
pressure
What is a map with isobars?
weather
When nucleus emits beta particles the parent and daughter nuclei are what isobars or nuclear isomers or istones?
These atoms are isobars.
How are isobars formed?
Isobars are formed by connecting points on a map that have the same atmospheric pressure. Meteorologists use isobars to represent areas of high and low pressure, with closely spaced isobars indicating strong pressure gradients and potentially windy conditions.
How do you determine low pressure and high pressure using isobars on a weather map?
On a weather map, low pressure is typically indicated by closely spaced isobars, while high pressure is indicated by widely spaced isobars. Low pressure systems are associated with stormy weather, while high pressure systems are associated with fair weather. The closer the isobars are together, the stronger the winds will be.
