Answer:
Atmospheric pressure is the air pressure which is exerted by the weight of air present in the atmosphere. Atmospheric pressure is due to the weight of air present in the atmosphere above us. Atmospheric pressure also acts in all directions. On the surface of earth, the atmospheric pressure is maximum at the sea level.
The highest barometric pressure ever recorded was 1083.8mb (32 in) at Agata, Siberia, Russia (alt. 262m or 862ft) on 31 December 1968. This pressure corresponds to being at an altitude of nearly 600 m (2,000 ft) below sea level!
