The force exerted by air, either in a scientific context (atmospheric pressure) or in everyday situations (tire pressure, compressed air).
The pressure of the atmosphere, often discussed in weather forecasts or scientific contexts.
The pressure of air inside a tire, often checked at gas stations or before driving.
The pressure of air used in pneumatic tools, air compressors, or industrial settings.
