gas pressure
Gas pressure is the force exerted by gas molecules when they collide with the walls of their container. These tiny particles move rapidly and randomly, and their frequent impacts create pressure. If there are more molecules in a given space or they move faster, the collisions become more frequent and forceful, increasing the pressure. Conversely, reducing the number of molecules or their speed lowers the pressure. Gas pressure depends on factors like temperature, volume, and the amount of gas present, and it plays a crucial role in many natural and technological processes.
