What is pascal?

The pascal is the SI base unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square metre. It is used in meteorology, fluid dynamics, materials science, and all scientific pressure measurements.

What is atmosphere?

An atmosphere (atm) is a pressure unit equal to mean atmospheric pressure at sea level, approximately 101,325 pascals. It is used as a reference in chemistry, diving tables, and altitude calculations.
