What are Bar and Hectopascal

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.

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.

History of Bar and Hectopascal

The Bar to Hectopascal conversion has been widely used in meteorology and other scientific fields. It gained popularity as a convenient way to express atmospheric pressure readings, allowing for standardization and easier comparison between different measurement systems.
