Why can't we feel the atmospheric pressure?

Answer 1

We do not feel the earths atmospheric pressure because it is the same everywhere all round us.

The body can only really feel pressure differences. Try this, put your finger in your mouth and suck. Your finger and indeed the inside of you mouth will feel the pressure difference you create.

Also sometimes if you go up in a lift or are in a car, bus or plane that goes up or down, you may feel pressure changes in your ears. This is because the pressure in your middle ear takes time to equalize with the atmospheric pressure changes caused as you go up and down in altitude.

Answer 2

The air inside of our bodies is at just about the same pressure as the air outside of it so they are balanced. Our bodies are not very compressible and when the pressure outside changes our bodies adapt to the new pressure.

Answer 3

Our bodies are accustomed to the constant atmospheric pressure that surrounds us. We don't feel it because the pressure inside our bodies (in our lungs, stomach, and blood vessels) is equal to the atmospheric pressure, creating balance. Changes in pressure are what we notice more, like in airplanes or elevators.

Answer 4

Why you are not feeling the atmospheric pressure?

Answer 5

Because the fluid inside your body exerts pressure that works against Atmospheric pressure =D

i'm not sure a 100% but i think this is the answer

Answer 6

You can not feel the weight of the air pressing on your body because it's balanced by the same amount of pressure inside your body.
