Gravity causes air pressure by pulling air molecules towards the Earth's surface. The weight of the air above creates pressure on the air below it. The higher you go, the lesser the air pressure due to less weight above pushing down.
Air pressure does not directly affect gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that acts uniformly on all objects regardless of air pressure. However, changes in air pressure can influence the density of the air, which may indirectly affect the behavior of objects falling through the atmosphere due to air resistance.
Yes, air pressure is a result of gravity. The weight of the air molecules above a specific area creates pressure at that point. Gravity pulls the air molecules towards the Earth's surface, causing them to be compressed and create pressure.
Gravity affects all objects regardless of whether they are inside a balloon or not. However, the air pressure inside the balloon might counteract the effects of gravity for a short period, but ultimately gravity will cause the balloon to fall.
In simple terms... gravity ! Gravity is holding the air close to the surface of the Earth. The further away you are from the surface - the lower the gravity - and thus the lower the air pressure.
Air does have a weight! And it is because of gravity! Note that this is per definition true because weight is only defined in the presence of gravity. Perhaps you are confused about why the air is up in the atmosphere and not down here on the ground with us? This has to do with air pressure. You see, materials don't like to be compressed, which is what gravity tries to do. Gravity tries to compress the air to the ground, but faces increased air pressure as it does so. Basically what happens is that the air particles repulse each other and thus tend to drive them apart. This force increases if you force the particles to be closer to each other. As gravity tries to pull air down, the air pressure increases which counter balances the pull of gravity. In the end a stable system is formed where the air pressure is highest down near the ground and lowest up in the upper lays of the atmosphere. The air particles up in the atmosphere do feel gravity, but if they would move down they would feel an increased air pressure which pushes them up again!
The pull of gravity.
Gravity. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of a column of air. Of course, the temperature of that air changes it's density and therefore it's weight (i.e. pressure)

Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above us pressing down on the air below. This pressure is a result of Earth's gravity pulling the air molecules towards the surface. Temperature changes and weather systems can also affect air pressure.

an air compressor Or gravity if you mean atmospheric pressure.
It is gravity.
Gravity is an entirely separate entity which is a consequence only of the mass of the earth itself. In fact, the atmosphere presses down because gravity is pulling on it.
The Earth's gravity pulls the air towards it, creating atmospheric pressure that holds the air in place. This pressure decreases with altitude, which is why the air thins out the higher you go. This balance between gravity and atmospheric pressure is what keeps the air around the planet.
