Atmospheric pressure, also known as air pressure or barometric pressure, is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth. The standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure defined as 101.325 kPa, which is

…as 100000 Pa (100 kPa or 1000 hPa), though not part of the International System of Units (SI). A pressure of 1 bar is slightly less than the average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level (approximately 1.013 bar). By the barometric formula, 1 bar is roughly the atmospheric pressure on Earth at an altitude of 111…
