Isobars are lines of equal atmospheric pressure.

Isobars can measure atmospheric pressure at a specific point in time. They are lines on a weather map that connect points of equal atmospheric pressure. By analyzing the spacing and distribution of isobars, meteorologists can predict weather patterns and systems.
Isobars and Isotherms are areas on the map to define temperature and pressures of weather. Isobers predict the areas of low or high pressures on the map.

No, an isobar line connects places that have the same atmospheric pressure. Isotherm lines, on the other hand, connect places with the same air temperature.
The isolines that connect the points of equal atmospheric pressure are called iseidomal. These terms are common when using the barometer.
An isobar on a map indicates lines of equal atmospheric pressure. Isobars help to show areas of high and low pressure, as well as the gradient and direction of the pressure change across a region.
Weather Maps: An isobar that is a closed circle indicates an area of high ("H") or low ("L") pressure center. Geographic Maps: An elevation on the map you are looking at. Sometimes numbers accompany the ring, to tell the elevation. Some times there are no numbers.
