Pascals:

Pascals are another unit of pressure used in scientific measurements. One atmosphere is equal to approximately 101,325 pascals.

Barometers: Barometers are instruments used to measure atmospheric pressure. They can be analog or digital and help us understand changes in weather patterns.

Altitude: Altitude refers to the height above sea level. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases because there is less air pressing down from above.
