Atmospheric Pressure
the pressure exerted by the weight of air. The standard atmospheric pressure on earth is 14.7 pounds per square inch (PSI) or 1 kilogram (Kg) per square centimeter (cm2). Actual pressure at any point and time on the face of the earth depends on altitude and atmospheric conditions.

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
The pressure exerted by the atmosphere at a given point. Its measurement can be expressed in several ways. One is in millibars. Another is in inches or millimeters of mercury (Hg). Also known as barometric pressure.

Atmospheric pressure
Atmospheric pressure is the pressure at any point in the Earth's atmosphere. In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point. Low pressure areas have less atmospheric mass above their location, whereas high pressure areas have more atmospheric mass above their location. Similarly, as elevation increases there is less overlying atmospheric mass, so that pressure decreases with increasing elevation. A column of air 1 square inch in cross section, measured from sea level to the top of the atmosphere, would weigh approximately 14.7 lbf. A column of air would weigh about 100 kilonewtons (equivalent to a mass of 10.2 tonnes at the surface).
