Abstract: Atmospheric pressure is the force created by the column of atmosphere directly above an object. Gravity pulls on the atmosphere giving it a weight. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.696 psia, while the atmospheric pressure on the top of Mount Everest is 4.888 psia, while in outer space there is no atmospheric pressure. Understanding the pressure readings, the elevation, and ambient conditions can help avoid gas measurement errors caused by misunderstanding of atmospheric pressure.
