Pls can you advice me , what is the barometric pressure and what causes it to change?

Briefly..: It is the "weight" of our atmosphere at the elevation it is measured and is affected by temperature, which causes wind, which further changes pressure and temperature which cylces around again. It is in continuous flux.
