It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth. Atmospheric pressure is commonly measured with a barometer. In a barometer, a column of mercury in a glass tube rises or falls as the weight of the atmosphere changes.
Formula :-
P_h = pressure at height h
P_0 = sea level pressure
g = acceleration due to gravity
k = Boltzmann's constant (ideal gas constant divided by Avogadro's number)
T = absolute temperature
m = mass of one air molecule
