Solution

Air has weight, due to this weight, the air exerts pressure. Variation in the air pressure from place to place is responsible for the movement of winds which serve as a measure of transporting heat and moisture from one region to another. A small change in pressure is very important in day-to-day weather forecasting. Pressures play an important role through their effects on temperature and precipitation.
