उत्तर
Air around us exerts pressure.
Explanation:
The air around us, due to its weight and the movement of air molecules, exerts air pressure on everything it comes in contact with. This pressure is the result of the force exerted by the air molecules as they collide with surfaces. Air pressure is what allows us to feel the wind and also influences weather patterns.
