because it is in the gaseous form. And we cannot touch it or feel. that is why the atmospheric pressure around us not crush us.

What is the pressure that is all around us?
Peer pressure! No, probably atmospheric pressure.
What is the relation between pressure in atmosphere and pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure. When we define the pressure in scientific way of absolute pressure, we need to add up an atmospheric pressure to the measured pressure.
What is The weight of air measured in units of force per area is called?
The measure of the weight of the air above us is called air pressure. Air pressure varies depending on your location.
Why do you not feel weight of air pressing on you?
We do not normally feel the large atmospheric pressure because the pressure inside our bodies is almost the same as the external pressure and so it is balanced.
What is the difference between air and vacuum?
Vacuum refers to a volume of space that is essentially empty of matter,such that is gaseous pressure is much less than atmospheric pressure. while AIR is the mixture of oxygen, nitrogen,and other gases that are consistently present around us.

Why doesn't out body get crushed due to atmospheric pressure around us?
The atmospheric pressure will not crush us because there is a balanced force around us. The contents of our bodies are pushing out as much as the air is pushing in. In fact, it used to be thought that you would explode if you were exposed to a vacuum, though this is now thought to be wrong (It would be awful, but your skin is very stretchy). You can work out the pressure with the equation: PRESSURE= FORCE x AREA.

What substance present in your body balances the atmospheric pressure actin on us?
what substance present in your body balances the atmospheric pressure action on us
If the air pressure inside a container were greater than the fluid pressure outside the container what would happen?
Okay i think i might know but i'm not sure but i think this can never happen because if it did the atmospheric pressure would crush us. our fluids in our bodies exert pressure on the atmospheric pressure(the same amount) and pretty much neutralize the effect!
What is the name of the Federal law that regulates atmospheric pressure?
The laws of nature, not the US legislature, govern atmospheric pressure.
What is the meaning turbo boost pressure?
Boost pressure is the amount of pressure above normal atmospheric pressure the turbo/supercharger is producing. Can be expressed in PSI (US used) or BAR (mainly outside the US). BAR = (boost pressure) * 14.7 (atmospheric pressure) / 14.7 (atmospheric pressure), an example 8psi of boost equals: 14.7+8/14.7 = 1.54bar
The measure of the weight of the air above us is called?
Atmospheric pressure.
What will happens to us if we go seventeen meters underwater?
We will experience a pressure 2.7 times atmospheric pressure.
Why we do not crush under air?
Equal pressure inside us.
What substance present in your body balances the atmospheric pressure acting on us?
our blood
Why are barometers important in life?
Advance warning of changes in atmospheric pressure can tell us what may happen with the weather. Example: a drop in atmospheric pressure indicates a storm of some kind is on its way.
