<span>There are two physical differences
between Low pressure systems and </span>High pressure systems.
First, is the circulation surrounding
them.
Secondly, is the atmospheric motion
that they cause.
Low pressure systems circulate counter-clockwise. High pressure systems
circulate clockwise. These "motions" are the
building blocks in our atmosphere. They give us our weather.
A Low’s counter-clockwise circulation forces air upward (ultimately resulting in
condensation, cloud formation and ultimately precipitation). A High’s clockwise
circulation causes a sinking motion in the atmosphere, resulting in fair/clearer
and often sunnier skies.
