What are Bar and Atmosphere

The 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 (Pa), which is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa. It is the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth. The atm unit is often used in meteorology, oceanography, and aviation.

History of Bar and Atmosphere

The concept of using a bar to measure pressure dates back to the 19th century. The bar to standard atmosphere conversion became important for scientific, aviation, and meteorological purposes, where precise pressure readings are crucial.
