But today we are going to be talking about
Air pressure

What is air pressure?
The air around you has weight, and it presses against
everything it touches. That is called atmospheric
pressure or air pressure. It is the force exerted on the
surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to the
earth

 An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of
measurement equal to the average air
pressure at sea level at a temperature of
15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees
Fahrenheit). One atmosphere is
1,013 millibars, or 760 millimeters
(29.92 inches) of mercury.

Did you know?
Why Do Your Ears Pop in Airplanes?
As you go up in an airplane, the atmospheric pressure becomes lower than the pressure of the air inside
your ears. Your ears pop because they are trying to equalize, or match, the pressure. The same thing
happens when the plane is on the way down and your ears have to adjust to a higher atmospheric

pressure.

air pressure works
