We measure this force using a barometer. Because there are different kinds of barometers, there are also different unit of measurement for this force.
A Mercury barometer measures in inches of mercury (in Hg), the english (non-metric) system uses pounds per square inch (PSI), and the pascal (Pa) is the standard in the metric system. In weather terminology, the bar and millibar indicate pressure readings.

What is the push of air on the Earth called?
The push of air on the Earth is called atmospheric pressure. It is the force exerted by the weight of the air above a given point on Earth's surface.
What is atmospheric pressure based on?
What do you mean "... based on"? The athmosperic pressure is "weight of air" and it can be measured. Strikly speaking: "force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface at any given point" (wikipedia) Ap could be given in force/area units for example lb/sq ft, kg/sq meter etc.
What force put on a given area by the air above?
We know that force acting perpendicularly on an area is thrust & thrust acting on an unit area is called pressure. Pressure exerted by wind or air hasn't been classified individually,rather we all together say it atmospheric pressure. And it is nearly 100000 Pa. so we may say it as atmospheric pressure. -----Akashraj Ghosh, Kharagpur
What gives air its weight?
Air has weight because it is made up of molecules that have mass. The weight of the air is due to the gravitational force pulling down on these molecules. The more air molecules present in a given volume, the greater the weight of the air.
What is the name given to a land that rises above the surrounding land and usually has steep sides.?
It is called a mountain.
What is the force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it called?
The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it is called atmospheric pressure.
What force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it is called what?
Atmospheric pressure
The weight of air is called?
The weight of air is called atmospheric pressure. It is the force exerted by the weight of the air above a given point in the atmosphere.
What is The force on a given area by the weight of air above it?
Downforce
When air exerts a force it is called?
When air exerts a force, it is called air pressure. Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air above a given point.
What is the force put on a given area by the weight of air above it is?
Downforce
What is the push of air on the Earth called?
The push of air on the Earth is called atmospheric pressure. It is the force exerted by the weight of the air above a given point on Earth's surface.
What is the name given to the gravitational force on an object?
The name given to the gravitational force on an object is simply called "gravity."
The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it?
The atmospheric pressure at that place and at that time.
Will anyone answer you what is the force that air exerts on a given area?
The force that air exerts on a given area is called air pressure. Air pressure is the result of the weight of the air above the given area pressing down on it. This pressure can vary depending on altitude, weather conditions, and temperature.
What name is given to the force caused by the pull of gravity?
The force caused by the pull of gravity is called weight. Weight is the force with which an object is pulled towards the center of the Earth by gravity.
Does pressure vary with dept due to the force of gravity?
Yes, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of water above a given depth. Weight is caused/determined by gravity.
