  2. Atmospheric pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure

    The average pressure at mean sea level (MSL) in the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) is 1,013.25 hPa, or 1 atmosphere (atm), or 29.92 inches of mercury. Pressure (P), mass (m), and acceleration due to gravity (g) are related by P = F/A = (m*g)/A, where A is the surface area.

  3. Standard atmosphere (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_atmosphere_(unit)

    The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101 325 Pa. It is sometimes used as a reference pressure or standard pressure. It is approximately equal to Earth's average atmospheric pressure at sea level. [1]

    Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted by a body of air above a specified area (called an atmospheric column). It is expressed in several different systems of units, including millimeters (or inches) of mercury, pounds per square inch (psi), millibars (mb), or standard atmospheres.

  6. Atmospheric Pressure - Education

    An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of measurement equal to the average air pressure at sea level at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). One atmosphere is 1,013 millibars, or 760 millimeters (29.92 inches) of mercury. Atmospheric pressure drops as altitude increases.

  7. International Standard Atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard...

    The International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) is a static atmospheric model of how the pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity of the Earth's atmosphere change over a wide range of altitudes or elevations.

    www.britannica.com/science/standard-atmosphere...

    standard atmosphere, unit of pressure, equal to the mean atmospheric pressure at sea level. It corresponds to the pressure exerted by a vertical column of mercury (as in a barometer) 760 mm (29.9213 inches) high.

  9. Standard atmosphere - Energy Education

    energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Standard_atmosphere

    A standard atmosphere, abbreviated atm, is the unit of pressure equal to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level. Specifically 1 atm = 101,325 pascals, [1] which is the SI unit of pressure.

  10. Air Pressure | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

    www.noaa.gov/jetstream/atmosphere/air-pressure

    At sea level, standard air pressure in millibars is 1013.2. Weather maps showing the pressure at the surface are drawn using millibars. Although the changes are usually too slow to observe directly, air pressure is almost always changing.

  11. Standard Atmosphere - Examples, Definition, Formula, Uses

    www.examples.com/physics/standard-atmosphere.html

    A Standard Atmosphere is a unit of pressure equivalent to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level under standard conditions. It is defined as 101,325 pascals or 1,013.25 millibars. This standard pressure serves as a reference for atmospheric pressure measurements and is commonly used in aviation and meteorology.
