Question

Why can't we feel the atmospheric pressure in an airplane flying at an altitude?

Answer 1

Answer:

Air pressure changes with altitude.

We don't feel this pressure because our bodies push an equal amount of pressure outward. This graph shows how air density and air pressure changes with altitude (the distance above sea level). Barometers are used to measure air pressure in milibars.

Answer 2

Air pressure changes with altitude.

We don't feel this pressure because our bodies push an equal amount of pressure outward. This graph shows how air density and air pressure changes with altitude (the distance above sea level). Barometers are used to measure air pressure in milibars.
