High-pressure centers of dry air are called anticyclones. These systems are characterized by sinking air, which inhibits cloud formation and leads to clear skies and dry conditions. Anticyclones typically bring stable weather patterns and can influence climate in the regions they affect.

Yes, high-pressure centers are typically associated with dry air. In these areas, sinking air leads to compression and warming, which inhibits cloud formation and precipitation. Consequently, high-pressure systems often bring clear skies and dry conditions.
Yes, high-pressure centers are typically associated with dry air. These areas, also known as anticyclones, occur when air descends, leading to warming and reduced humidity. The descending air inhibits cloud formation, resulting in clearer skies and drier conditions. Consequently, high-pressure systems are often linked to fair weather.
Clouds tend to form near low-pressure centers because these areas are associated with rising air, which cools and condenses to create cloud formation. In contrast, high-pressure centers are typically characterized by descending air, leading to clearer skies and fewer clouds. Therefore, you are more likely to find clouds in regions of low pressure.
When molecules of air are pushed together, they form an area of high pressure which is called compression. If the compression is cyclonic, it is called a node.

Near the Earth's surface, air will spiral from high to low pressure at a rate determined by the pressure gradient (and at an angle relative to that gradient). The Earth's rotation turns the air as it moves from high to low pressure, so the air doesn't make a bee-line from high to low as it would if the Earth didn't rotate. Higher up in the atmosphere, the air is deflected at nearly a 90 degree angle, so the air flows almost parallel to the pressure gradient.
When two air masses collide, it is called a front.
