Answer: Atmospheric air pressure varies with elevation and temperature. Air at atmospheric conditions is generally called "free air." Compressed air is free air that has been forced into a smaller volume and is now at a pressure greater than atmospheric. Compressed air is expressed in terms of pressure and volume.

Atmospheric air is known as free air, it’s particles are not being forced to collide as they roam freely and randomly. However, compressed air is air that cannot escape from a reduced volume. It’s particles exert a small force when they collide with the container that they’re in, resulting in compressed air having a high pressure.
