Nat Geo long video:

8. Air pressure The atmosphere is held in place by Gravity.
Gravity pulls gas molecules toward Earth’s surface, causing AIR PRESSURE.
Air pressure is the measure of the force with which air molecules push on an area of a surface.
Fewer and fewer gas molecules in the air as you move away from Earth’s surface, so as altitude increases air pressure decreases. (as you go up, pressure goes down)
