Our bodies are used to a certain amount of pressure. So, when you go in a plane, pressure changes and makes your ears pop. Chew gum or wear earplugs.

air has mass
What does Barometric Pressure tell us?
tell us the air preasure
Why you do not feel air pressure although there is a tall column of air above us?
If the human body was hollow and contained a vacuum, we would then feel the air pressure. However, our lungs contain air, so the internal pressure is the same as the external pressure. Air pressure is perfectly balanced everywhere it is in contact with us, and all of our internal fluids, blood, lymph, etc., are under pressure, and balance the pressure that the air exerts. If a human being were to be exposed to the vacuum of outer space, our pressurized internal fluids would explode. We can only feel a difference in pressure, we do not feel perfectly balanced pressures, within and without.
Is atmospheric pressure higher in the sky?
yes it does but it has very little pressure
From where does the continental US get its cold weather?

Why do your ears hurt when you come on a aircraft?
your ears hurt when you are in an aircraft because of the change in air pressure when you are in the air
Why does air pressure make your ears hurt on an airplane?
When you climb higher the air pressure changes and the pressure inside of you hasn't changed so the pressure makes your ears hurt. After a while the pressure balances out and your ears wont hurt. That is why cabins are pressurized to help reduced pain from pressure difference.

What is the measure of the weight of air above us called?
air pressure
Why does the air in the atmosphere press on us?
It's due to air pressure.
If the weather forecaster tells you that the pressure is falling what is the air density doing?
They tell you exactly the pressure is falling when the density of the air around us gets less, this means that air from other area's will be moving toward us to fill the air pressure up, air always moves from a high pressure area to a lower pressure area
What does Barometric Pressure tell us?
tell us the air preasure
Why the pressure vareis from moutanins to land?
High up on the mountains, there is less air above us. It is the air that causes the pressure.
