Each square meter of Earth’s surface supports a column of air that is more than 200 km high <strong>and</strong> weighs about<br />

10,000 kg at Earth’s surface, resulting in a pressure at the surface of 1.01 × 10 5 N/m 2 . This corresponds to a<br />

pressure of 101 kPa = 760 mmHg = 1 atm.<br />
