air pressure is the weight of air pressing down on the earths surface
air pressure is measured in millibars, using a barometer
the movement of the pointer on a barometer shows how the air pressure is changing and tells us what weather to expect:
rising barometer: weather improving due to high pressure
falling barometer: weather is declining due to low pressure
high air pressure = air is sinking
low air pressure= air is rising
