Mantle
The pressure of 1.0 million atmospheres is inferred to be in the inner core of Earth. The inner core is a solid layer composed mostly of iron and nickel under extremely high pressure due to the surrounding layers of Earth exerting force on it.
Stiffer mantle.
The pressure of 1.0 million atmospheres is inferred to be within the Earth's core, specifically in the inner core. This intense pressure is a result of the immense gravitational force acting on the materials in the core, primarily due to the weight of the overlying layers of the Earth.
Earth's mantle extends to a depth of 2890 km, making it the thickest layer of Earth. The pressure, at the bottom of the mantle, is ~140 GPa (1.4 Matm). 1.4 Matm = 1.4 million atmospheres = 1.4 million x 14.7 = 20.58 million lbs per square inch

Planets are not a part of the earth's atmosphere. They orbit the sun as the earth does, at great distances from the earth. Several of them have atmospheres of their own.
The ozone layer protects us from the UV rays. These UV rays can cause harm to life on earth.
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.

The atmospheric pressure on Venus is about 92 times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure, equivalent to being about 900 meters underwater on Earth. The high pressure on Venus is due to the thick layer of carbon dioxide and other gases in its atmosphere.
