Pressure is the amount of force pressing on something. Air pressure is the force with which air presses. The force comes from the bombardment of the moving air particles.

A compelling or refracting influence ie. peer pressuere.

apex- the force of gas molecules hitting their container

Pressure is the continual physical force that is exerted against an object.
The amount of force acting per unit area is called pressure

What is the relation between pressure in atmosphere and pressure?

Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure.
