Explanation:

Atmospheric Pressure:

  • The normal air pressure at sea level is 1,013.2 millibars.
  • The air at the surface is denser due to gravity, which hence has greater pressure.
  • Air pressure is measured using a mercury barometer or aneroid barometer.
  • The value of what we call standard sea-level pressure is 760 mm of mercury, 1013.25 x103 dynes per square centimeter, 14.70 pounds per square inch, 1013.25 millibars, or simply one standard atmosphere which is 101.325 kilopascals.
  • The air majorly contains 72 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen, in addition to a small amount of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, etc.
  • Air has weight and thus, like liquids, it exerts pressure.
  • A force is exerted by the atmospheric air on all objects in the atmosphere and on the Earth.
  • The force or thrust exerted on a unit area by the atmospheric air is defined as atmospheric pressure.
  • 1.013 × 105 Pa is the approximate value of atmospheric pressure on the earth's surface.
  • The standard atmospheric pressure is 0.760 mHg at 0 °C.
  • This is a pressure equal to 101325 Pa.
