A barometer.

Barometric pressure is usually read and rated in millibars of atmospheric pressure. A standard day at sea level, would be 29.9 on the barometric scale. That is, neither a high or low pressure in the area and generally sunny.

Is the unit of measure for atmospheric pressure most commonly found on weather maps?

In weather maps, atmospheric pressure is measured in millibars. Standard atmospheric pressure is 1013.2 millibars at sea level. Air pressure varies depending on temperature and air density.


How blood pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure?

Blood pressure is the blood flow when the heart is pumping (top number) and when the heart is resting (bottom number). The body is a closed system and requires enough blood pressure to pump the blood throughout the body. A typically healthy blood pressure would be 120mmHg/70mmHg. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the atmosphere at a specific location and altitude. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg. So actually, atmospheric pressure is much greater than blood pressure. Most people never have to worry about atmospheric pressure affecting blood pressure. However, deep sea divers experience an increase in blood pressure while diving, and astronauts experience a decrease in blood pressure when in space.


What is the range of pressure experienced on earth?

The pressure experienced on Earth varies widely depending on location and depth. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is approximately 101.3 kPa (kilopascals). However, as you descend into the ocean, pressure increases significantly, reaching over 1,000 times atmospheric pressure at the deepest parts, such as the Mariana Trench, where it can exceed 1,100 times atmospheric pressure. In contrast, high-altitude locations like Mount Everest experience much lower atmospheric pressure, around 33.7 kPa at the summit.
