It depends on what you mean by "outer space".
One commonly accepted definition is that outer space begins at the Karman line, 100 km above sea level. At this height atmospheric pressure is about 1 Pa (pressure at sea level is about 101 kPa).
Beyond that, scientists generally don't talk in terms of "pressure" but instead use mass density to describe how empty (or not) space is. The average mass density of the universe has been estimated at around 1 hydrogen atom per cubic meter.
The pressure in outer space is so low that many consider it as non-existant. It has a pressure of 1.322 × 10-11 Pa. Pressure may be detected from the molecule of air or water hitting you. Since there is very little air and hardly ever water hitting you in space, pressure is almost zero or negligible.

When there is high pressure what happens to the cloud devolopment?
think of it as diffusion, pressure will take up space and clouds will have less space to develop.
What is the pressure of a space suit in space?
During the Apollo EVAs, normal suit operating pressure was about 3.8 psi The Space Shuttle/ISS Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) operates at approximately 4.3 psi.
Why do we wear spacesuits in space?
Unlike earth, there is no atmosphere in space. it is essentially a vacuum with no pressure. our bodies aren't built to survive in an environment outside our atmosphere, so the space suit basically simulates the atmospheric pressure of earth, keeping our bodies intact.
Why can't you hear sound in space?
Sound travels as pressure waves through air. There is no air in space so no sound.
What allows humans to adapt to life in space?
To do this you need an increase in pressure and oxygen
In space is air pressure great?
In space, there is no air, and its pressure is Zero.
Why is there no pressure in outer space?
There is no atmosphere in space.
How does the pressure of the pleural space compare to the lungs?
Normally, the pressure in the lungs is greater than the pressure in the pleural space surrounding the lungs
Does high pressure take away more space?
yes. high pressure take away space because when high pressure came together it increase the pressure.
What is the pressure exerted by a vapor confined within a given space?
pressure exerted by a vapor confined within a given space
When there is high pressure what happens to the cloud devolopment?
think of it as diffusion, pressure will take up space and clouds will have less space to develop.
How can we reduce pressure?
Pressure in a glass can be reduced by either decreasing the amount of the gas in a finite space, or by increasing the volume of the finite space.
What situations may show that pressure acts in all directions?
When your body explodes outward from your center of gravity in space. There is no pressure in space. Your body's inner pressure is about the same as the earth's, preventing the earth's pressure from crushing you. In space, your body's pressure, as it has nothing pressing against it, expands outward in all directions until you are ripped apart.
What is a space that has a pressure of zero pascals?
Vacuum.
What would happen to a marshmallow in the vacuum of space?
I'm thinking..get squashed by the pressure in space
What is the internal pressure of a space suite?
I believe it's about 4psi (or 4psia in the vacuum of space)
Could you explode in space?
Yes, you could explode in space by the pressure of the other planets.
