Inward!
Low pressure systems typically move inward, with air converging towards the center of the system. This convergence of air at the center results in rising air, cloud formation, and potentially precipitation.
Air flows counterclockwise and inward for all low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise and inward in the Southern Hemisphere. And high pressure systems flow clockwise and outward in the Northern Hemisphere and in the Southern Hemisphere they flow counterclockwise and outward. On weather maps a high is represented as a capital H and is blue, while a low is represented as a capital L and is red.
High pressure air travels "downwards and clockwise"
In low-pressure systems, air rises and converges at the center, creating upward motion and unstable weather conditions. In high-pressure systems, air sinks and diverges outward, creating downward motion and stable weather conditions. This difference in air movement contributes to the formation of different weather patterns associated with each system.
Cyclones typically form in areas of low atmospheric pressure. The low pressure at the center of a cyclone causes air to spiral inward, creating strong winds and weather disturbances.

In the northern hemisphere, winds generally blow outward from high pressure systems and inward toward low pressure systems. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which deflects air to the right in the northern hemisphere, causing it to circulate clockwise around high pressure systems and counterclockwise around low pressure systems.
In a low-pressure system, air rises and creates a decrease in pressure at the surface, leading to unstable weather conditions like rain and storms. In a high-pressure system, air sinks and creates an increase in pressure at the surface, resulting in stable weather conditions and clear skies.

The opposite of a cyclone is an anti-cyclone.
In a low pressure system winds travel in a counterclockwise direction and inward
In high-pressure areas, air sinks and moves outward, creating stable and dry weather conditions. In low-pressure areas, air rises and moves inward, causing instability and the formation of clouds and precipitation. The movement of air in these pressure systems plays a key role in shaping weather patterns around the globe.
It's not necessarily that the eye gets smaller as the cyclone gets bigger so much as the eye gets bigger when the cyclone gets stronger. There is no direct correlation between the size of a cyclone and its intensity. All cyclones are low pressure systems. The lower the pressure, the stronger the cyclone. The eye wall, which immediately surrounds the eye, marks the point where the inward force of the low pressure is balanced with the tendency for air to get flung outward by the rotation. A lower pressure means a stronger inward pull and thus a smaller eye.
High pressure air travels "downwards and clockwise"
Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in an attempt to equalize the pressure differences. In the atmosphere, air from high-pressure systems sinks and moves outward, creating clockwise circulation. This movement of air from high to low pressure is what drives our weather patterns.
It would blow from the mass of high pressure to the mass of low pressure.Answer 2Looking down from a satellite, the northern hemisphere high pressure systems move in a clockwise direction and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere.Low pressure systems are the reverse of these, IE clockwise in the southern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere.

In high-pressure systems, air sinks and diverges outward, creating downward motion and stable weather conditions.
