Answer:If you’re in a swimming pool at a depth of 5 meters, you have 5 meters of water pressing down on you.
Explanation:
If you’re in a swimming pool at a depth of 5 meters, you have 5 meters of water pressing down on you. If you’re at 2 meters, you have 2 meters worth of water pressing down on you. If you’re at sea level, you have 0 meters of water pressing down on you.
But at sea level, you have around 96km of atmosphere pressing down on you, you don’t feel it because your insides have the same pressure. Like a balloon. But when you go upwards, you have less atmosphere pressing down on you.
At lets say 10km above sea level, you have 86km of atmosphere pressing you.. but inside you, you are pressurised for having 96km of atmosphere on you so you feel the air inside you trying to burst out, which is the feeling of decompression.
