What are Bar and Hectopascal

Definition of Bar

A bar is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly equal to 100,000 Pascals, which is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.

Definition of Hectopascal

The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system and is equivalent to a millibar. Used commonly in meteorology, one hectopascal is equal to 100 Pascals or one millibar, and is used to measure atmospheric pressure.
