Why ansible is not able to ping for locally?

Without writing ansible-playbook Why ansible is not able to ping locally ?

Problem:-

I have taken 1 ec2 instance and the IP of ec2 is "52.15.160.250". I installed ansible in it. Inside the inventory file [/etc/ansible/hosts] i have taken

[localhost]

52.15.160.250

Then visudo description

I tried to ping local host

ansible -m ping all

or

ansible -m ping 52.15.160.250

I am getting the following error

error

try adding like this:

[localhost]

52.15.160.250 ansible_connection=local

this way, it would not attempt over ssh rather it would go by local connection.
